| adam_text | An Intellectual History of
Cannibalism
Cătălin Avramescu
Translated by Alistair Ian Blyth
The cannibal
—
perhaps the ultimate
symbol of savagery and degradation
—
has haunted the Western imagination
since before the Age of Discovery, when
Europeans first encountered genuine
cannibals and related horrible stories of
shipwrecked travelers eating each other.
An Intellectual History of Cannibalism is
the first book to systematically examine
the role of the cannibal in the arguments
of philosophers, from the classical period
to modern disputes about such wide-
ranging issues as vegetarianism and the
right to private property.
Cătălin
Avramescu shows how the can¬
nibal is, before anything else, a theoreti¬
cal creature, one whose fate sheds light
on the decline of theories of natural law,
the emergence of modernity, and contem¬
porary notions about good and evil. This
provocative history of ideas traces the
cannibal s appearance throughout West¬
ern thought, first as a creature springing
from the menagerie of natural law, later as
a diabolical retort to theological dogmas
about the resurrection of the body, and
finally to present-day social, ethical, and
political debates in which the cannibal is
viewed through the lens of anthropology or
invoked in the service of moral relativism.
Ultimately, An Intellectual History of
Cannibalism is the story of the birth
of modernity and of the philosophies of
culture that arose in the wake of the
Enlightenment. It is a book that lays
bare the darker fears and impulses that
course through the Western intellectual
tradition.
Cătălin
Avramescu is assistant
professor of political science at
the University of Bucharest.
