Anthropology and the Cognitive Challenge

摘要: In this provocative new study one of the world's most distinguished anthropologists proposes that an understanding cognitive science enriches, rather than threatens, work social scientists. Maurice Bloch argues for a naturalist approach to and cultural anthropology, introducing developments in sciences such as psychology neurology exploring relevance these central anthropological concerns: person or self, cosmology, kinship, memory globalisation. Opening with exploration history shows why how approaches were abandoned once valid reasons are no longer relevant. then subjects conceptualisation time benefit from being simultaneously approached tools science. Anthropology Cognitive Challenge will stimulate fresh debate among scholars students across wide range disciplines.
