How does the ontological turn in anthropology redefine what modern,
Western ontology is in practice, and offer the beginnings of a new
ontological pluralism? On a planet that is increasingly becoming a
single, metaphysically homogeneous world, anthropology remains one
of the few disciplines that recognizes that being has been thought
with very different concepts and can still be rendered in terms
quite different than those placed on it today. Yet despite its
critical acuity, even the most philosophically oriented
anthropology often remains segregated from philosophical
discussions aimed at rethinking such terms. What would come of an
anthropology more fully committed to being a source of (post-)
philosophical concepts? What would happen to philosophy if it began
to think with and through these concepts? How, finally, does
comparison condition these two projects ? This book addresses these
questions from a variety of perspectives, all of which nonetheless
hold in common the view that "philosophy" has been displaced and
altered by the modes of thought of other collectives. An
international group of authors, including Eduardo Viveiros de
Castro, Marilyn Strathern, Philippe Descola, and Bruno Latour,
explore how the new anthropology/philosophy conjuncture opens new
horizons of critique.
