by Marshall Sahlins (Author), Marshall Sahlins (Author), Philippe Descola (Author), Janet Lloyd (Translator)
Deals with a question central to both anthropology and philosophy: what is the relationship between nature and culture? Drawing on ethnographic examples from around the world, the author formulates a new framework, the "four ontologies" - animism, totemism, naturalism, and analogism - to account for all the ways we relate ourselves to nature.
