Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human—and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador’s Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world’s most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. How Forests Think seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction–one that offers a more capacious way to think about the world we share with other kinds of beings.

That my sense of anxious alienation dissipated the moment the bird came into sharp focus provides some insights into the conditions under which symbolic thought can become so radically seaprate from the world, as well as those under which it can fall back into place. I do not, by any means, wish to romanticize tropical nature or privilege anyone's connection to it. This sort of regrounding can happen anywhere. Nonetheless, sighting that tanager in the bush at the messy edge of town taught me something about how immersion in this particularly dense ecology amplifies and makes visible a larger semiotic field beyond that which is exceptionally human, one in which we are all -- usually -- emplaced. Seeing that tanager made me sane by allowing me to situate the feeling of radical separation wit... (查看原文)

重读一遍没有当年那么惊艳了：原生性理论创造力不足，“用”理论的痕迹很重，且没什么新鲜的读法，还不如直接去读Peirce和Bateson；beyond-human semiosis 犯了近些年multispecies ethnography的通病，除了反复强调超越representation, 对于"life", "form"的反思也后续乏力。

人类学好友推荐，生啃下来了。First, Second, Third和Form的思想还是没太明白，很哲学很玄妙。最后一部分在山野环绕的深夜院子里看完，两个月的黑子刚打完疫苗，难受得不吃不喝不动，我就陪在他旁边，大声朗读以壮胆，灵魂美洲豹死影响生，引人入胜。

看得挺痛苦，很烧脑，很开脑洞。如果说一般来讲，人类学家是研究为什么一群人相信万物有灵，那么作者是在论证万物就是有灵。第五六章等中文版吧，实在磨不动了。😭

既然是How forests think写森林的部分也太少了吧，我都看到第三章了森林只不过在搭理论框架的时候出现过。另外作者说selfhood专属于living things又说人死了之后selfhood依旧存在在灵魂之中，我真的存疑的不只是作者的自我矛盾，还有他非得说除了人类之外的所有活物都有“自我”，刚开始看的时候我也愿意承认，但是后来我却越来越怀疑这一切是不是只是作者的一厢情愿，毕竟无论是动... 既然是How forests think写森林的部分也太少了吧，我都看到第三章了森林只不过在搭理论框架的时候出现过。另外作者说selfhood专属于living things又说人死了之后selfhood依旧存在在灵魂之中，我真的存疑的不只是作者的自我矛盾，还有他非得说除了人类之外的所有活物都有“自我”，刚开始看的时候我也愿意承认，但是后来我却越来越怀疑这一切是不是只是作者的一厢情愿，毕竟无论是动物还是植物它们都不能说话，所有一切都只是我们人类强加给/解读它们的，这样就能算“自我”吗？ (展开)

这很难评…作者英文写作能力堪忧废话太多，以及描写森林的部分略少对不起吸引人的书名
