【 摘 要 】

Why should a medievalist read Philippe Descola’s Par-delà Nature et Culture? First of all, Descola offers a system with which to rethink the epistemological relationship between history and anthropology, and between event and structure. By dismantling the nature/culture dichotomy, he gives to us a new set of tools, and henceforth, rather than dwell on the notions issued from collective psychology, we may speak in terms of structures and ontology. In this perspective, we may describe the Middle Ages as an analogist ontology and seek the benefits from such an approach. Lastly, thanks to Descola’s comparative approach, anthropologists and historians can escape from the dichotomy between relativism and universalism.
