De que maneira a chamada virada ontológica na antropologia pode redefinir o que a ontologia moderna e ocidental é na prática e, ainda, oferecer o início de novo pluralismo ontológico? Essa pergunta orienta muitos dos textos que compõe essa nova publicação:
Comparative Metaphysics: Ontology After Anthropology
Edited by Pierre Charbonnier, Gildas Salmon, and Peter Skafish
A obra apresenta questões instigantes e atuais acerca do conhecimento antropológico por meio de uma variedade de perspectivas. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Marilyn Strathern, Philippe Descola, Bruno Latour, entre outros, exploram de que maneira a antropologia de inspiração filosófica faz conjecturas capazes de abrir novos horizontes para o pensamento crítico.
