Description
The Ontological Turn: An Anthropological Exposition A new and influential theoretical orientation in anthropology, the 'ontological turn' is gaining significant attention in contemporary philosophy and social theory. This book provides the first comprehensive anthropological exposition of this recent intellectual development. It explores the roots of the ontological turn in the history of anthropology, tracing its emergence as a distinct theoretical orientation over the past few decades through the work of key scholars such as Roy Wagner, Marilyn Strathern, and Viveiros de Castro. The book critically examines the methodological and theoretical tenets of the ontological turn, its epistemological and political implications, and situates it within the broader landscape of contemporary social theory. By examining this influential intellectual development, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the current state of anthropological research and its connections to wider debates in philosophy and social science.
