Culture, Thought, and Social Action: An Anthropological Perspective

Rate this book
Este livro contém uma seleção de ensaios escritos pelo autor entre 1967 e 1984. Ele escolheu estes ensaios, em particular, porque eles delineiam uma discussão contínua, que se desenvolveu ao longo do tempo, sobre um conjunto de temas e questões inter-relacionadas. A proposta apresentada aqui se afasta de qualquer tentativa de formular um esquema universalista e determinista da evolução da cultura e da sociedade. O autor procura compor as configurações e as totalidades históricas como cristalizações sempre inacabadas ao longo do tempo.

I skipped the second half of the book because it's too information-dense for me. Tambiah is a first class anthropologist!
