| Summary: | Towards a sociology of relations with nature.
The thinking presented in Par-delà nature et culture invites sociology to take up the question
of humans beings’ relations with nature. Sociology is perhaps better disposed to do this than
anthropology given what is in fact its strong, spontaneous reluctance to refer to invariants thought
of as defining what is specific to humanity. An effect of Descola’s book is to suggest the interest
for sociology of taking up and further developing Durkheim’s thesis that humans perceive their
relations with nature « on the image » of social relations. |
