Clifford Geertz (1926-2006) war einer der bedeutendsten Kulturanthropologen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Wie wichtig seine Vorstellung von Kultur als sinnstiftendes Bedeutungsgewebe heute noch ist, zeigt die erschütternde Gewalt von Menschen, die befürchten müssen, dass ihr sozio-kulturelles Netz Risse und Löcher bekommt, sie Halt und Orientierung verlieren. Die Geschichte und prekäre Situation der Inuit verdeutlicht diese Zusammenhänge. Barbara Schellhammer verbindet das Geertz'sche Denken mit dessen konkreter Anwendung in Nordkanada und bietet somit neue Perspektiven und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten - sowohl für die sozialwissenschaftliche Theoriebildung als auch für die besorgniserregende psycho-soziale Lage der Inuit. »Dieses Buch verbindet kulturtheoretische Expertise und konkrete Felderfahrungen zu einer Studie, die durchaus nachdenklich stimmt und interkulturelles Philosophieren sowie postmoderne/ postkoloniale Kulturtheorien mit der Einsicht konfrontiert, dass das Sinn- und Bedeutungssystem von Menschen nicht unbegrenzt belastbar und flexibel ist - was nicht gegen die Möglichkeit gesellschaftlicher Veränderungsprozesse spricht, sehr wohl aber für die Notwendigkeit einer selbstreflexiven Modernisierung und einer selbstkritischen Wissenschaft.« Franz Gmainer-Pranzl, polylog, 37 (2017)

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.

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.

At the height of the religious ferment of the 1970s, David Van Zandt studied firsthand the most vilified of the new radical religious movements--the Children of God, or the Family of Love. First feigning membership and later gaining the permission of the Family, the author lived full-time in COG colonies in England and the Netherlands. From that experience, he has produced an informed, insightful, and humane report on how COG members function in what seems at first to be a completely bizarre setting. The COG, an offshoot of the Jesus People movement of the late 1960s, was one of the first radical religious groups to be accused of "brainwashing." Led by the charismatic David Berg, known as Moses David, the group demands total commitment from its full-time members and proselytizes continuously. Until recently the COG used sex as a proselytizing tool, and it continues to encourage full sexual sharing among group members. Instead of examining the COG's ideology in the abstract, Van Zandt analyzes how its ideas are understood and used by ordinary members in their daily lives. For them the Family is its practical, day-to-day, and all-consuming activities, such as "litnessing" (the street sale of COG literature). This is a vivid eyewitness account that will fascinate anyone interested in life in modern radical communal religions, such as the Unification Church and the Hare Krishnas, as well as in other radical, Christian-based, total-commitment groups. Van Zandt's frank reflections on his near-conversion experience and on the ethics of his covert observation enrich our knowledge of doing research with such groups.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
