From the Enemy's Point of View: Humanity and Divinity in an Amazonian SocietyEduardo Viveiros Viveiros de CastroPaperback
Product description
Review
ÂIn their powerful essay on the climate crisis that humans face today, Danowski and Viveiros de Castro propose nothing short of a radically new and pluralist philosophical anthropology that is bound to reinvigorate humanist and post-humanist debates on anthropogenic global warming. A brilliant tour de force.Â
Dipesh Chakrabarty, The University of Chicago
ÂThis is a passionate, profoundly intelligent book. The ends of time are not the Anthropocene; that is a boundary, not a destiny. What comes next cannot be allowed to be the barbarism of the techno moderns. In this book, recomposition tracks along the Möbius strip of still imaginable, still liveable thought, mythology, and world-making practices indigenous to terrans. Actual indigenous peoples, who have refused to end in end time after end time, can perhaps teach the Âneeded subsistence of the future.Â
