Description

Anthropology Why It Matters by Tim Ingold explores how this field of study can help address some of the world's most pressing issues. In this passionately argued book, Ingold shows why anthropology is essential for understanding our place in the world and finding solutions to the challenges we face. Ingold argues that a discipline once committed to ideals of progress was reborn as a field of hope, taking centre stage in debates about intellectual, ethical, and political issues. He explains how anthropology brings together the wisdom and experience of people from diverse backgrounds to inform our understanding of collective human life. This book is part of Polity's Why It Matters series, which aims to make the case for the importance of various subjects and inspire new generations of students.
