Description

Anthropology has seen a growing interest in ethics and comparative notions of morality and freedom. This collection brings together four prominent anthropologists to discuss key topics facing anthropological ethics, including how we recognize the ethical in different cultural settings, agency and awareness in everyday life, and the intersection of ethics with politics in Western and non-Western societies. The authors explore these questions through lectures and responses, offering a nuanced understanding of morality across diverse cultural contexts. This masterclass provides a valuable framework for an anthropology of ethics in the 21st century, highlighting the importance of considering ordinary ethics and their relationship to politics. By examining contrasting perspectives and methods, this collection offers a comprehensive guide to formulating an anthropology of ethics that is both theoretically grounded and practically relevant.
