{"product_id":"the-anthropology-of-the-enlightenment-larry-wolff-9780804752039","title":"The Anthropology of the Enlightenment","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe modern enterprise of anthropology, with all of its important implications for cross-cultural perceptions, perspectives, and self-consciousness emerged from the eighteenth-century intellectual context of the Enlightenment. If the Renaissance discovered perspective in art, it was the Enlightenment that articulated and explored the problem of perspective in viewing history, culture, and society. If the Renaissance was the age of oceanic discovery--most dramatically the discovery of the New World of America--the critical reflections of the Enlightenment brought about an intellectual rediscovery of the New World and thus laid the foundations for modern anthropology. The contributions that constitute this book present the multiple anthropological facets of the Enlightenment, and suggest that the character of its intellectual engagements--acknowledging global diversity, interpreting human societies, and bridging cultural difference--must be understood as a whole to be fundamentally anthropological.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Wolff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804752036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804752039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 6.24w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 80","brand":"Larry Wolff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926223716607,"sku":"9780804752039","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c16f7117-9ccc-4c54-ab6c-c9b7bcb40ced.jpg?v=1681081884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-anthropology-of-the-enlightenment-larry-wolff-9780804752039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
