The book of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (b. 1951), an outstanding Brazilian anthropologist, professor at the National Museum of Brazil at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Cannibal Metaphysics. Frontiers of Poststructural Anthropology” is devoted to topical issues of ethnography and modern philosophy. Rethinking the classical theory of property and sacrifice by Claude Levi-Strauss, which had a significant impact on modern anthropology, the author offers an original interpretation of the "ethno-metaphysics" of the American Indians, built on the interpretation of such concepts as "perspectivism" and "multinaturalism". Developing the ideas of anthropologists Philippe Descola, Roy Wagner and Marilyn Strathern, as well as philosophers Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, de Castro comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to create a fundamentally new post-structuralist methodology.
