Les forêts pensent-elles ? Les chiens rêvent-ils ? Dans ce livre important, Eduardo Kohn s’en prend aux fondements même de l’anthropologie en questionnant nos conceptions de ce que cela signifie d’être humain, et distinct de toute autre forme de vie. S’appuyant sur quatre ans de recherche ethnographique auprès des Runa du Haut Amazone équatorien, Comment pensent les forêts explore la manière dont les Amazoniens interagissent avec les diverses créatures qui peuplent l’un des écosystèmes les plus complexes au monde. Que nous l’admettions ou non, nos outils anthropologiques reposent sur les capacités qui nous distinguent en tant qu’humains ; pourtant, lorsque nous laissons notre attention ethnographique se porter sur les relations que nous tissons avec d’autres sortes d’êtres, ces outils – qui ont pour effet de nous aliéner du reste du monde – se révèlent inopérants. Comment pensent les forêts entend répondre à ce problème. Cet ouvrage façonne un autre genre d’outils conceptuels à partir des propriétés étranges et inattendues du monde vivant lui-même. Dans ce travail révolutionnaire, Eduardo Kohn entraîne l’anthropologie sur des chemins nouveaux et stimulants, qui laissent espérer de nouvelles manières de penser le monde, monde que nous partageons avec d’autres sortes d’êtres.

Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human—and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador's Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world's most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. 

*How Forests Think* seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction–one that offers a more capacious.
