What are we to make of statements that jaguars see themselves as
humans, or of doubts about the boundary between dreams and waking?
Jointly authored by an anthropologist and a philosopher, this book
investigates some of the most puzzling ideas and practices reported
in modern ethnography and ancient philosophy, concerning humans,
animals, persons, spirits, agency, selfhood, consciousness, nature,
life, death, disease and health. The study’s twin aims are first
to explore the possibility of achieving a better understanding of
the materials we discuss and then to see what lessons we can draw
from them to challenge and revise our own fundamental assumptions.
