Timothy Ingold, i am his admirer

Hello everyone, I have a bad warning, this is my last post on this blog, unfortunately, but anyway, let's start.

In contemporary anthropology, there are different eminences, such as Philippe Descola or Maurice Godelier, but, in this post we will only meet Timothy Ingold.

The British professor and social anthropologist, from the University of Aberdeen, is my first inspiration in terms of anthropology, his works on ecology and its relation with anthropology, or better yet, his works on technology and his practical skills. But before we continue, we must know a little about his context and his life.

Son of the most famous mycologist of the last century, Cecil Terrence Ingld, Timothy and Tim to his friends, he was born on November 1, 1948 in Kent, England. His early studies were at Leighton Park School, finishing his studies at Churchill College, Cambridge, officially studying natural sciences but changing to anthropology. 

I admire his work principally because the topics he treats interest me a lot, his perspective of the world and obviously of what anthropology says about the common reality of people, and exactly this new point of view that Ingold gives is his contribution to the social sciences.
