Description

Eduardo Kohn challenges the foundations of anthropology in this thought-provoking book, questioning what it means to be human and our distinct relationship with other life forms. Through four years of fieldwork among the Runa people of Ecuador's Upper online marketplace, Kohn explores how humans interact with the creatures that inhabit one of the world's most complex ecosystems.

The author argues that traditional anthropological tools break down when applied to non-human relationships, and instead offers a new approach that fashions conceptual tools from the properties of the living world. This groundbreaking work takes anthropology in a new direction, offering a more capacious way to think about our shared world with other beings.
