A wealth of voices illustrate and inform the text, showing ways in which individuals creatively 'write', narrate and animate cultural and social life. This is an anthropology imbued with a liberal morality which is willing to make value judgements over and against culture in favour of individuality.\u003cbr\u003eRapport draws widely on ethnographic and theoretic materials bringing into the debate a range of voices, among them Nietzsche, Wilde, George Steiner, Richard Rorty, John Berger and Anthony Cohen. In doing so he approaches individuality in terms of a range of issues: biological integrity, consciousness, agency, democracy, discourse, globalism, knowledge and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Rapport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415169666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415169660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.72w x 0.90d","brand":"Nigel Rapport","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136052441343,"sku":"9780415169660","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b51cfba1-7245-446e-9886-4c5214585bf5.jpg?v=1770160193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transcendent-individual-nigel-rapport-9780415169660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
