| Summary: | Moving beyond naturalism and toward a new humanism.
There is nothing universal in the nature/culture opposition in which anthropology originated,
explains Philippe Descola in Par-delà nature et culture. Outside the West, this naturalist
cosmology has never been relevant. While anthropology must aim at the universal, it must also

words, whether anthropology of culture should not in fact « develop and couple up with an anthropology of nature ». |
