Abstract

The Indigenous Māori of Aotearoa New Zealand have a knowledge system embedded with understandings related to consciousness, soul, and spirit. Although the effects of colonization are vast and ongoing, these knowledges have not been completely lost, and endure as an essential part of Māori comprehensions about the nature of everyday life and reality. We provide an overview of the socio-historical context of Māori, before briefly summarizing Māori cosmogony. We then discuss some of the more popularized ways the constructs of consciousness, soul, and spirit are interpreted from an Indigenous Māori perspective, while importantly highlighting that there are no single words in the Māori language that readily translate to these concepts, making the task of elucidating what the terms mean for Māori somewhat complex. Our articulations are intended as a brief overview, rather than an extensive extrapolation.
土著Māori意识、灵魂和精神的概念
新西兰奥特亚的土著毛利人有一个知识体系,其中包含了与意识、灵魂和精神有关的理解。尽管殖民化的影响是巨大的和持续的,但这些知识并没有完全消失,并作为毛利人对日常生活和现实性质理解的重要组成部分而存在。在简要总结毛利世界主义之前,我们概述了毛利的社会历史背景。然后,我们讨论了从土著毛利人的角度解释意识、灵魂和精神结构的一些更普遍的方式,同时重要的是,强调毛利人语言中没有一个单词可以轻易地翻译成这些概念,这使得阐明这些术语对毛利人的意义的任务有些复杂。我们的阐述旨在作为一个简短的概述,而不是一个广泛的推断。
