Abstract
Conceiving Lefebvre's theorization of autogestion as ‘revolutionary spontaneity’ involves present it in relation to the reappropriation of space in opposition to the domination that neoliberalism has brought over nature and people's everyday lives around the world. In this commentary, I elaborate on the aesthetic condition that is also required for the flourishing of this ‘revolutionary spontaneity’ as a path to socio-ecological sustainability by adding to the material-dialectical approach of nature-society the necessity of further re-evaluating the trichotomy of body-mind-spirit. In doing so, I argue that we need to consider siblinghood as a way to relate with creation (nature and people) to foster the achievement of global autogestion.
