In his book How Forests Think: Towards an Anthropology Beyond Man, Eduardo Cohn (b. 1968), Assistant Professor at McGill University and winner of the Gregory Bateson Prize (2014), draws on many years of ethnographic work among the Runa people, indigenous people of the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest. However, the aim of the book is much broader than this ethnographic context: it is an attempt to show that the analytical view of modern socio-cultural anthropology remains in many ways an anthropocentric view and that this approach needs to be criticized. The book calls for the discipline to expand its intellectual horizons beyond what Kohn calls limited concepts of human culture and language, and to move towards the creation of an “anthropology beyond man.”
