The focus of this article is the mind–body problem in mainstream modern psychology examined from a decolonial perspective. The construction of the idea of the separation of mind and body is a seminal point of division of labor in the history of modern capitalism. This division perpetuated by the mind–body dualism idea was necessary to justify the enslavement of some and employment to others. Colonization processes have had profound importance on the mind, feelings, behaviors, and political settings. Throughout its history, the subject treated in EuroAmerican psychology has sought to deal with the mind–body problem as an individual, a separate entity, not as part of the psyche as a whole. A new perspective where the mind and body play an intertwined role is necessary considering subjectivity in a cultural-historical approach. The subjective level is defined by the unification between symbolical and emotional cultural processes. The body (emotions) operates in conjunction with the culture and, when amalgamated, constitutes what we entitle as subjectivity. An ontology defines the assumptions that lie under a cosmovision and sustains a way of seeing, feeling, thinking, and acting with oneself, others, and the whole living world. It is what defines the real. The trajectory of this paper is an invitation to shed light from a decolonial perspective on social inequality concerning the present crises of humanity. The consequences of social inequality expressed today indicate the difficulties created by the dichotomy of mind and body.

被驱逐出伊甸园：人类如何将地球变成一个充满敌意的地方

本文的重点是从非殖民主义的角度审视主流现代心理学中的身心问题。身心分离思想的建构是现代资本主义历史上分工的一个开创性点。这种由身心二元论思想延续的分裂是必要的，以证明某些人的奴役和另一些人的就业是正当的。殖民过程对思想、感情、行为和政治环境具有深远的意义。纵观其历史，欧美心理学研究的主题一直试图将身心问题作为一个个体、一个单独的实体来处理，而不是作为整体心理的一部分。考虑到文化历史方法中的主观性，有必要采用一种新的视角，即身心扮演交织的角色。主观层面是由象征性和情感性文化过程的统一定义的。身体（情绪）与文化一起运作，当它们融合在一起时，就构成了我们赋予的主体性。本体定义了宇宙观下的假设，并维持一种对自己、他人和整个生活世界的观察、感觉、思考和行动方式。它定义了真实。本文的轨迹是邀请从非殖民主义的角度阐明与当前人类危机有关的社会不平等。今天表达的社会不平等的后果表明，身心二分法造成的困难。当合并时，构成了我们赋予的主观性。本体定义了宇宙观下的假设，并维持一种对自己、他人和整个生活世界的观察、感觉、思考和行动方式。它定义了真实。本文的轨迹是邀请从非殖民主义的角度阐明与当前人类危机有关的社会不平等。今天表达的社会不平等的后果表明，身心二分法造成的困难。当合并时，构成了我们赋予的主观性。本体定义了宇宙观下的假设，并维持一种对自己、他人和整个生活世界的观察、感觉、思考和行动方式。它定义了真实。本文的轨迹是邀请从非殖民主义的角度阐明与当前人类危机有关的社会不平等。今天表达的社会不平等的后果表明，身心二分法造成的困难。本文的轨迹是邀请从非殖民主义的角度阐明与当前人类危机有关的社会不平等。今天表达的社会不平等的后果表明，身心二分法造成的困难。本文的轨迹是邀请从非殖民主义的角度阐明与当前人类危机有关的社会不平等。今天表达的社会不平等的后果表明，身心二分法造成的困难。
