Beyond Nature and Culture is a major work of comparative anthropology by French anthropologist Philippe Descola, first published in French in 2005 and later translated into English. The book examines a basic assumption of modern Western thought: that nature and culture are separate domains, with humans occupying the cultural side and animals, plants, objects, and environments belonging to nature. Descola argues that this division is not a universal feature of human reasoning but a historically specific ontology. Drawing on ethnography, philosophy, and comparative social theory, he develops a framework for understanding how societies identify continuities and differences between humans and non-humans. The book is theoretical rather than practical, but its implications reach environmental thought, political ecology, indigenous studies, and the philosophy of science. Its purpose is not simply to criticize Western categories, but to show that different worlds are composed through different patterns of relation, perception, and classification.
