Beyond Nature and Culture

by Philippe Descola · Janet Lloyd

English translation of Descola's 2005 Par-delà nature et culture, a major work of comparative anthropology. It proposes four ontologies, animism, naturalism, totemism and analogism, and argues that the Western division between nature and culture is one historical option among several.
