Abstract

Welchen Erklärungswert haben klassische ethnologische Kulturtheorien für die Analyse kultureller Globalisierung? Macht der Begriff »Kultur« in einer entgrenzten und hybridisierten Welt überhaupt noch Sinn? Anhand der breit rezipierten Ansätze von Clifford Geertz und Pierre Bourdieu überprüft der Autor die postmoderne These, Globalisierung erfordere eine fundamentale Umstellung der kulturwissenschaftlichen Kategorien. »From the Native's Point of View«? bietet damit nicht nur einen gut lesbaren Vergleich der Konzepte von Geertz und Bourdieu, sondern wirft ein neues Licht auf die ethnologischen Debatten über kulturelle Globalisierung und den Kulturbegriff.

Abstract

This book explores the question of what it means to be a human being through sustained and original analyses of three important philosophical topics: relativism, skepticism, and naturalism in the social sciences. Kevin Cahill’s approach involves an original employment of historical and ethnographic material that is both conceptual and empirical in order to address relevant philosophical issues. Specifically, while Cahill avoids interpretative debates, he develops an approach to philosophical critique based on Cora Diamond’s and James Conant’s work on the early Wittgenstein. This makes possible the use of a concept of culture that avoids the dogmatism that not only typifies traditional metaphysics but also frequently mars arguments from ordinary language or phenomenology. This is especially crucial for the third part of the book, which involves a cultural-historical critique of the ontology of the self in Stanley Cavell’s work on skepticism. In pursuing this strategy, the book also mounts a novel and timely defense of the interpretivist tradition in the philosophy of the social sciences.Towards a Philosophical Anthropology of Culture will be of interest to researchers working on the philosophy of the social sciences, Wittgenstein, and philosophical anthropology.

Abstract

This collection of essays appears at the confluence of two major streams—the flowering of the “biblical theology movement” in a range of New Testament theologies published in the past two or three decades and the recent emergence of significant contributions to reflection on and the practice of theological interpretation of the Bible. To some, these two interests overlap enough to parade them under a single banner. To others, these are disparate approaches that draw on and display competing methodological commitments. Seasoned scholars and relative newcomers to the conversation orient readers to these concerns, not so much to resolve these differences but to explore them with an eye to the future of theological work with the New Testament.
