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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Rapport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415169674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415169677\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 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.47w x 0.70d","brand":"Nigel Rapport","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056067113215,"sku":"9780415169677","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e929214-6b91-482f-b8db-3f7120713f9d.jpg?v=1685039327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transcendent-individual-nigel-rapport-9780415169677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
