Since the end of the nineteenth century, the division between
nature and culture has been fundamental to Western thought. In this
groundbreaking work, renowned anthropologist Philippe Descola seeks
to break down this divide, arguing for a departure from the
anthropocentric model and its rigid dualistic conception of nature
and culture as distinct phenomena. In its stead, Descola proposes a
radical new worldview, in which beings and objects, human and
nonhuman, are understood through the complex relationships between
them. The "Ecology of Others" presents a compelling challenge to
anthropologists, ecologists, and environmental studies scholars to
rethink the way we conceive of humans, objects, and the
environment. Thought-provoking and engagingly written, it will be
required reading for all those interested in moving beyond the
current confines of this fascinating debate.
