The Composition of Worlds Interviews with Pierre Charbonnier

"Charbonnier's questions have engendered exquisite insights into the essence of Descola's anthropology. A very welcome translation reveals the prescience with which, long ago, this eminent thinker scaled up his concerns to address some of today's most urgent problems."
Marilyn Strathern, University of Cambridge
 
"What a privilege, to accompany this brilliant anthropologist as he develops and reflects on his meta-ontology against the background of the ethnographic vocation, the Amazonian forest, structuralism, and the distinctiveness of anthropology in France! An instant classic, this exceptionally lucid work will be indispensable for teaching."
Michael Lambek, University of Toronto
