David K. Lewis

    28 settembre 1941 – 14 ottobre 2001

    David Kellogg Lewis è stato un influente filosofo del XX secolo il cui lavoro ha profondamente influenzato la filosofia del linguaggio, della mente, della metafisica, dell'epistemologia e della logica. È forse meglio conosciuto per la sua controversa posizione del realismo modale: l'idea che esistano infiniti universi paralleli, ognuno concreto e causalmente isolato, con il nostro che ne è solo uno. Questi universi fungono da mondi possibili nell'analisi della necessità e della possibilità. L'eredità di Lewis risiede nel suo pensiero originale e nella sua profonda esplorazione della natura della realtà.

      The universality of shamanistic power and practice among today's hunter-gatherers - along with the similarity of rock art found in varied sites around the world - has led Jean Clottes and David Lewis-Williams to suggest in this new book that the great art of paleolithic caves can be best understood through the lens of shamanism. Indeed, this is not a monograph on a particular site, but a general discussion of the art of painted caves and their shamanistic meaning. Through the authors' revealing words and the abundant full-color illustrations, we follow shamans into their trance states, and we watch as they carefully paint and engrave on rock surfaces the shapes of animals whose power they seek. As we learn how drawings and rituals were likely modes of shamanistic contact, we understand best the actions, accomplishments, and traces left behind by prehistoric shamans
