Why Humans Have Cultures: Explaining Anthropology and Social Diversity
ISBN: 9780192892119 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why Humans Have Cultures examines three basic questions: what unity underlies human cultural diversity? What are the origins of that diversity? How can we understand it? The author argues that it is the ways in which people interact--rather than technological advances--that have been of crucial importance in human history.

In this volume, anthropologists, philosophers, and historians examine the notion of the person in different cultures, past and present. Taking as their starting point a lecture on the person as a category of the human mind, given by Marcel Mauss in 1938, the contributors critically assess Mauss's speculation that notions of the person, rather than being primarily philosophical or psychological,...
