About the Author
Eduardo Kohn is an anthropologist whose groundbreaking work bridges the humanities and the natural world, challenging conventional boundaries between human and non-human realms. Drawing from his extensive fieldwork in the Amazon rainforest, Kohn explores how forests and their inhabitants possess forms of thought and agency that extend beyond anthropocentric perspectives. His innovative approach integrates semiotics, ecology, and indigenous knowledge to propose a new paradigm for understanding life on Earth. As a professor and researcher, Kohn's scholarship inspires readers to reconsider our place in the web of existence, fostering a deeper appreciation for the intelligence embedded in the more-than-human world. Through his writings, he invites us to listen to the voices of the forest and rethink the very foundations of anthropology.
