Anthropology and Philosophy by Sune Liisberg
The present book is a workroom in which anthropologists and philosophers have begun a dialogue on trust and hope. The interdisciplinary efforts of the contributors demonstrate how the collaboration of anthropologists and philosophers can result in new and challenging ways of thinking about trust and hope.“The dialogues within this volume are theoretically dense and ethnographically rich, each providing unique avenues of thought that would perhaps warrant books in themselves” • Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
“While this book is seemingly aimed primarily at an anthropological audience, there exists a clear desire to make a contribution to both disciplines. As a result, this book is incredibly valuable for those interested in producing scholarship in either discipline, in addition to interdisciplinary work. Moreover, the dialogues that make up the majority of the text demonstrate the possibility, as well as the difficulty, of putting two importantly distinct disciplines in conversation with one another. It demonstrates the possibility of making explicit the intellectual companionship between anthropology and philosophy, ensuring that this text is a resource for both disciplines.” • Anthropology Book Forum
“This volume is a serious, innovative, and patient attempt to meet disciplinary difference with candour, and to work beyond it; it is imbued with the sobriety and good faith of its contributors. It also upholds a kind of tradition in (what might now be termed) ‘thinking outside the box’ that characterises, certainly on the anthropological side of the fence, the work of some of the most innovative and inspirational figures.” • Anthropos
“Anthropology & Philosophy: Dialogues on Trust and Hope is a thoughtful and thought-provoking read that is a significant and highly recommended addition to academic library Anthropology and Philosophy reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists.” • Midwest Book Review
