That is exactly why perspectivism is not, pace Descola, a subtype of animism, i.e., a schema of practice whose reasons can be known only by the reason of the anthropologist. It is not a type but a concept, and the most interesting use for it consists not so much in classifying cosmologies that appear exotic to us but in counter-analyzing those anthropologies that have become far too familiar. > >Viveiros de Castro (2009) 2014, p. 78. %% [[Perspectivism notes]]
