From the forests of Yellowstone to the steppes of the Haut-Var, the
French philosopher and environmentalist Baptiste Morizot invites us
to develop a different relationship to nature: to become detectives
of nature and to follow the footprints of the many wonderful and
extraordinary animals with which we share the Earth. By deciphering
and interpreting an animal's footprints and other signs, we
gradually discover not only which animal it is, but the animal's
motives too. Through this kind of 'philosophical tracking', we come
to see the world from the animal's point of view, to learn to live
in this world from the perspective of another species. We begin to
let go of our anthropocentric point of view and to recapture the
kind of perspective that our ancestors once had when they had no
choice but to adopt an animal point of view if they wanted to
survive. In short, by following animal trails, we learn how to pay
increased attention to the living world around us and how to
cohabit this world with others, thereby enriching our understanding
of other species, of the world we share with them and of ourselves.
