Description
The anthropology of ethics has become an important and fast-growing field in recent years. This book argues that it represents not just a new subfield within anthropology but a conceptual renewal of the discipline as a whole, enabling it to take account of a major dimension of human conduct which social theory has so far failed adequately to address. An ideal introduction for students and researchers in anthropology and related human sciences. ¿ Shows how ethical concepts such as virtue, character, freedom and responsibility may be incorporated into anthropological analysis ¿ Surveys the history of anthropology's engagement with morality ¿ Examines the relevance for anthropology of two major philosophical approaches to moral life.
