Abstract

Following Durkheim, ecological anthropology has largely conceived human societies as describing nature through individual and collective. We know that for Durkheim, the objectivity of human knowledge of the environment was based on the social representation of the sensuous given. This paper examines this conclusion, which was revolutionary for the time, as well as its structural re-formulation by Claude Lévi-Strauss and, recently, Philippe Descola. It is argued that to write a critical history of the interaction of as it has been conceived until now by Durkheim’s followers, it is essential to question the basic epistemological distinction established by Durkheim between the sensuous given and its social representations.
