- Summary:
- Anthropologists present clashing views and divergent sub-disciplinary perspectives on epistemology in order to demonstrate the current range of opinions and practices in the profession. Among the topics are the ontogeny of an anthropological epistemology in 18th-century Scotland, changing modern institutional forms (disciplines and nation states), an Afro-Brazilian theory of the creative process, intersubjectivity as epistemology, the all-or-nothing syndrome and the human condition, and perspectives from Africa on epistemology and ethics. Originally published as a special issue of Social Analysis, volume 53, issue 2. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
