metadata.value: The article analyzes modern western projects to update anthropology. The projects are united
  by the idea of the end of human exclusiveness, which is a modern form of the concept
  of human death. According to idea of the end of human exclusiveness, a person has no
  ontological privileges in the world, and he must be thought of as a part in the totality of
  other parts of the whole — nature, space, objects, etc. It is possible to allocate four forms
  of the realization of this idea: overcoming the oppositions “nature-culture”, “man-animal”,
  “man-technician”, and “man-objects”. In the article the first form of this idea, projects of anthropology
  beyond nature and culture, is analyzed. Within the framework of these projects,
  two tendencies are observed — naturalization of man and anthropomorphization of the
  world. Both directions are investigated on the example of works, on the one hand, of Jean-Marie Schaeffer, on the other, Philippe Descola and Ernesto B. Viveiros de Castro. Schaeffer’s
  anthropology becomes anti-anthropology the moment he starts speaking of man in the
  language of evolutionary biology. Man fits them into an evolutionary process, within which
  the cause of a person’s actions appears beyond him. The anthropomorphization of the world
  is based on ethnographic data on the so-called “primitive peoples”. If naturalism concerns
  the reduction of the anthropological to the biological, then here it is possible to speak of
  an intellectual forgery. Descola and de Castro identify the ideas of weak philosophy on the
  bases where the life of the mystery community is constructed. In this case, the mystery is described
  in social categories, and the exotic content of representations of the studied peoples
  serves as an argument for the chaotization of our own ideas. The author of the article believes
  that modern anti-anthropologists are trying to interpret the truly human, contained
  in mysteries, in terms of the inhuman.
