How the Forests think (How Forests Think)

In his book “How the Forests Think: to Anthropology on the Tow of Man” Eduardo Kon, professor at the University of McGill, laureate of the Gregori Basson Prize (2014), is based on many years of experience of the ethnographic work among the people of the rune, the indigenous inhabitants of the Ecuadoric part of the tropical forest of the Amazon. However, the purpose of the book is much wider than this ethnographic context: it is an attempt to show that the analytical view of modern socio-cultural anthropology is largely a look of anthropocentric and that such an approach must be criticized. The book encourages discipline to expand its intellectual horizon beyond what the end calls the limited concepts of human culture and language, and move on to the creation of “anthropology on the other side of a person”
