This clearly written and engaging book brings together anthropology, psychology and economics to show how these three human science disciplines address fundamental questions related to the psychology of economic life in human societies - questions that matter for people from every society and every background. Based around vivid examples drawn from field research in China and Taiwan, the author encourages anthropologists to take the psychological dimensions of economic life more seriously, but also invites psychologists and economists to pay much more attention than they currently do to cultural and historical variables. In the end, this intrinsically radical book challenges us to step away from disciplinary assumptions and to reflect more deeply on what really matters to us in our collective social and economic life.

The transformative wave of Darwinian insight continues to expand throughout the human sciences. While still centered on evolution-focused fields such as evolutionary psychology, ethology, and human behavioral ecology, this insight has also influenced cognitive science, neuroscience, feminist discourse, sociocultural anthropology, media studies, and clinical psychology. This handbook's goal is to amplify the wave by bringing together world-leading experts to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of evolution-oriented and influenced fields. While evolutionary psychology remains at the core of the collection, it also covers the history, current standing, debates, and future directions of the panoply of fields entering the Darwinian fold. As such, The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behavior is a valuable reference not just for evolutionary psychologists but also for scholars and students from many fields who wish to see how the evolutionary perspective is relevant to their own work.

Unter dem Begriff der "Praxeologie" macht derzeit ein Strang der Kulturtheorien von sich reden, der sich von einem normativen, auf Zeichen und Symbole reduzierten Kulturverständnis abwendet. Stattdessen rücken die Akteure und deren Handeln in den Vordergrund - allerdings unter stark veränderten Vorzeichen. Im Fokus der Praxeologie steht nicht rationales Handeln, sondern die routinisierte Praktik, der implizites Wissen zugrunde liegt und die den Umgang mit Artefakten einschließt. Steht der "Practice Turn" also bereits kurz bevor? Im Kontrast zur umfangreichen theoretischen Reflexion dieses Ansatzes steht gegenwärtig noch seine empirische Anwendung. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es daher, in interdisziplinärer Perspektive ein breites Spektrum möglicher Anwendungsfelder aufzuzeigen. Die Vorschläge reichen dabei von der Integration der Praxeologie zur Aufwertung von Akteuren und deren Handeln bis hin zu einem Forschungsprogramm für die Analyse der materialen Dimension des Sozialen. Aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven - von der Geschichtswissenschaft, über die Soziologie bis hin zur Literaturwissenschaft - werden anhand konkreter Forschungsbeispiele Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Praxeologie ausgelotet.

Human nature is frequently evoked to characterize our species and describe how it differs from others. But how should we understand this concept? What is the nature of a species? Some take our nature to be an essence and argue that because humans lack an essence, they also lack a nature. Others argue for non-essentialist ways of understanding human nature, which usually aim to provide criteria for sorting human traits into one of two bins, the one belonging to our nature and the other outside our nature. This Element argues that both the essentialist and trait bin approaches are misguided. Instead, the author develops a trait cluster account of human nature, which holds that human nature is based on the distribution of our traits over our (actual and possible) life histories. One benefit of this account is that it aligns human nature with the human sciences, rendering the central concern of the human sciences to be the study of human nature. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
