Description
The Ends of the World A bold overview and interpretation of current discourses on 'the end of the world', this book reads them as thought experiments on the decline of Western anthropology, exploring attempts to invent a mythology adequate to the present. Philosopher Déborah Danowski and anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro examine the human causes and catastrophic consequences of environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse, shedding light on how different cultures have approached these subjects. Their work has important implications for the future development of ecological practices. This book will appeal to those interested in contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and environmentalism, offering a fresh perspective on our understanding of the world's most pressing issues.
