A dialogue between a philosopher and an anthropologist, one a specialist in ancient Greek and Chinese thought, the other in Amazonian Indigenous peoples. Lloyd and Vilaça revise our understanding of ideas about the body and its antitheses, dreams, sickness, gods, and the narratives and myths which are used to untangle these concepts.
