DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnthropological theory has been much discussed in recent years, yet the crucial questions still remain--how can it be defined, how is it developed, how is it to be applied, and how can one confirm it? The editors of Anthropological Theory answer these questions by presenting essays relating to various aspects of anthropological theory. Their selections from widely scattered and often difficult-to-obtain sources present a comprehensive set of writings that describe the current position and issues involved in theory.The development of field work in anthropology generated a tremendous emphasis on empirical data and research. The plethora of information awaiting collection and the enthusiasm with which the field embraced it so immersed anthropologists that they were unable to relate this new information to the field as a whole. Manners and Kaplan believe that this lack of generalization had a profoundly negative effect upon the discipline. Therefore, they look closely into the relationship between field work and theory in an opening essay and go on to present material that demonstrates the value and the necessity of theory in anthropology. Essays by anthropologists and other social scientists deal with ""explanation,"" evolution, ecology, ideology, structuralism, and a number of other issues reflecting throughout the editors' conviction that anthropology is a science, the goal of which is to produce generalizations about sociocultural phenomena.The book provides necessary perspective for examining and evaluating the crucial intellectual concerns of modern anthropology and will therefore be important for the work of every anthropologist.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlfred Radcliffe-Brown (1881-1995) is widely renowned as a founder of modern social anthropology. This biography challenges popular stereotypes of him as a misplaced positivist and colonial conservative. It shows Radcliffe-Brown to be a thoroughly cosmopolitan scholar, a committed fieldworker and a sharp critic of colonialism. Radcliffe-Brown engaged strategically with colonial authorities to further the interests of his discipline and invoked scientific credentials to critique central aspects of colonial rule. His struggle for intellectual autonomy and advocacy of a comparative sociological approach speaks to many contemporary concerns.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book employs the methods of philosophical anthropology to examine the question of what the noumenon of human life is which has been debated for thousands of years. This work elaborates upon the noumenon of human life, that is, man’s “structure and choice”. The noumenon of human life differs essentially from the animals in bringing about the unity of “structure” and “choice”. The noumenon of human life, or rather, man’s “structure and choice”, provides the motive force for the survival and development of individuals and groups (families, organizations and states) as well as the basic ways in which human values can be possible of realization. It is only through the instrumentality of man’s “structure and choice” that humans can attain their goals and grasp the laws of development and change of things. In passing criticism upon structuralism and existentialism, the author tries to reconstruct the ontology of human life, whereby his theory provides an ontological foundation for the humanities and social sciences, a theoretical framework for an idealistic anthropological commitment to self-transcendence, a scientific philosophy of life for us, and a good deal of enlightenment about many theoretical prerequisites.
