As the author demonstrates, different cultures have strikingly different ways of 'making sense' of the world. In the modern urban West, we are accustomed to thinking in terms of visual models such as 'world view, ' whereas the Ongee of the Andaman Islands, for example, live in a world ordered by smell and the Tzotzil of Mexico hold that temperature is the basic force of the cosmos. In a fascinating examination of the role of the senses in diverse societies and eras, Constance Classen shows the extent to which perception is shaped by and expressive of cultural values. This book will be of interest to students of cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Constance Classen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032439483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032439488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Constance Classen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129153908991,"sku":"9781032439488","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5deedc73-0e5d-45f0-b7c9-da865cd11ea5.jpg?v=1687462351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worlds-of-sense-constance-classen-9781032439488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
