existircoexistir

Existircoexistir is a neologism that blends existir and coexistir to describe a condition in which entities not only exist alongside one another but also cultivate conditions that enable enduring, reciprocal presence. The term appears in Spanish-language discourse dealing with pluralism, social inclusion, and governance, and may surface in philosophical essays, urban ethics, and ecological discussions.

Etymology and meaning: The coinage combines the verbs existir (to exist) and coexistir (to coexist). There is no single, authoritative definition; meanings vary by context, ranging from simple spatial coexistence to actively negotiated, rights-bearing coexistence.

Usage and interpretations: In philosophy, existircocistir emphasizes that coexistence requires more than mere proximity; it implies recognition of others’ identities and rights. In sociology and political theory, it underpins arguments for inclusive policies, minority protections, and cultural pluralism. In ecology and urban planning, it can describe systems designed to sustain diverse populations, habitats, or communities through intentional design and governance.

Criticisms: Some scholars argue the term is vague or tautological without precise criteria for what counts as “good” coexistence, calling for clearer definitions or operational benchmarks.
