Dilemmas

Pushing back against the idea that dilemmas as clear-cut binary choices, renowned anthropologist Jackson shows us some of the ways that dilemmas are addressed in non-Western thought, traditions, and philosophy. Drawing on examples from his extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Africa and Australia, each of thirteen chapters examines a particular dilemma.

Combatand ideea ca dilemele sunt alegeri binare clare, renumitul antropolog Jackson ne arata cateva dintre modalitatile prin care dilemele sunt abordate in gandirea, traditiile si filosofia non-occidentala. Bazandu-se pe exemple din vasta sa cercetare etnografica de teren in Africa si Australia, fiecare dintre cele treisprezece capitole examineaza o anumita dilema.
