He is well-known for his early work on India, which culminated in \u003ci\u003eHomo Hierarchicus\u003c\/i\u003e (1966; in English 1972, 1980), an anthropological account of the caste system. He later extended this work into a comparison of the values of Indian and western society in works like \u003ci\u003eEssays on Individualism\u003c\/i\u003e (1986) and \u003ci\u003eGerman ideology: From France to Germany and Back\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). He is also known for pioneering work on kinship in south India and more generally (for example \u003ci\u003eAffinity as a Value\u003c\/i\u003e, 1983). The current volume represents the fruits of this side of his activities and originated in as a series of lectures providing an account of the British and French schools for students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Parkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845451473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845451479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Robert Parkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173160874239,"sku":"9781845451479","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-two-theories-robert-parkin-9781845451479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
