Description
Anthropological approaches to morality offer new perspectives on our understanding of ethics and moral principles. This book provides an accessible exploration of how different cultures view and enact morality, examining its relationships with key social institutions such as religion, law, gender, sexuality, and medical practice.
The author draws on a range of literature, including anthropological, philosophical, and social scientific studies, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the subject. With practical case studies and clear writing, this book is suitable for both undergraduate students and researchers seeking to understand morality from an anthropological perspective.
