Border Crossing and Transformations
Checking Availibility...Description
Philosophy and anthropology have many, but largely unexplored, links and interrelationships. Historically, they have informed each other in subtle ways. This volume of original essays explores and enhances this relationship through anthropological engagement with philosophy and vice versa, the nature, sources and history of philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and the practical, methodological and theoretical implications of a dialogue between the two subjects. 'Philosophy and Anthropology: Border Crossings and Transformations' seeks to enrich both the humanities and the social sciences through its informative and stimulating essays.
