ISBN-13: 9781636672700 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025
Lawrence Krader (1919-1998) was an American philosopher and anthropologist. His enormous writings addressed a wide range of subjects in the fields of history, ethnology, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, and political economy. Much of it remained unpublished at the time of his death. This book contains excerpts from Krader’s unpublished manuscripts held at McMaster University. They include writing on the peoples of central and north-east Asia, the persona in Western thought, the beginnings of capitalism in Central Europe, myth and ideology, noetics and the theory of nature, and linguistics and semantics, as well as assessments of Marx’s theory of value, considerations of the Russian Revolution and a critical view of Leninism. The book also provides readers with a biographical overview of Krader’s intellectual development and his involvement with New York intellectuals – including Meyer Schapiro, Karl Korsch, Isaiah Berlin, Karl August Wittfogel, Roman Jakobson, Alfred Tarski, Morris R. Cohen, Rudolf Carnap – in the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. This book will appeal to all those interested in Lawrence Krader’s life, work, influence, and legacy.
