01 What Is Multispecies Liberation?

Multispecies liberation is the central framework of Pyxis Limethica.

Recent developments in multispecies studies have emphasized concepts such as relationality, interdependence, and entanglement. These approaches have helped reveal how humans and other beings continuously shape each other.

Meanwhile, questions of power often remain underexamined.

Relations are never neutral: they are shaped by colonial histories, economic systems, social hierarchies, and unequal distributions of vulnerability.

The concept of multispecies liberation emerges from this concern. Drawing on liberation philosophies all over the world, Pyxis Limethica asks how multispecies relations can be understood through the lens of power, oppression, and (in)justice.
