Excerpt from Anthropos The Greek word anthropos is given us in the lexicons as a triple compound, made up first, of an adverb that signifies upward; then of the frag ment of a verb that means to turn, and lastly of a noun that designates the human face. The whole, combined in one word, points us to man as the creature that turns his face toward the skies. In this term we may find a reference either to that peculiarity of physical structure that makes an upward look possible, natural, and easy to man, or to a real or supposed yearning in human nature for a higher destiny, or to that sense of dependence upon a higher power that has SO abundantly and variously expressed itself in man's religious history.

Excerpt from The Great Dene Race The pages which are herewith presented to the Americanist appeared originally in the first volumes of "Anthropos," the famous Austrian review. They were intended as the beginning of a great work the manuscript of which having eventually become the prey of the flames, its publication was forcedly interrupted. Since that fateful night of November 1910, more pressing labours have ever prevented the resumption of the work by the author, who nevertheless fondly hopes that the seventeen chapters which have survived the wreck are not altogether unworthy of being offered the anthropologist, desirous of studying in its details one of the most primitive races of the American continent. The fact that only a limited edition of the same can now be procured at any price will even probably enhance its value in the eyes of connoisseurs.

Excerpt from Anthropology The other manner in which the subject of anthropology can be conceived is that this is neither so vast as to include every thing human, nor is it the unappropriated odds and ends of other sciences, but rather some particular aspect of human phenomena. If such an aspect exists, anthropology vindicates its unity and attains to integrity of aim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Anthropology and the Classics: Six Lectures Delivered Before the University of Oxford Anthropology and the Humanities - on verbal grounds one might suppose them coextensive yet in practice they divide the domain of human culture between them. The types of human culture are, in fact, reducible to two, a simpler and a more complex, or, as we are wont to say (valuing our own achievements, I doubt not, rightly), a lower and a higher. By established convention Anthro pology occupies itself solely with culture of the Simpler or lower kind. The Humanities, on the other hand - those humanizing studies that, for us at all events, have their parent source in the literatures of Greece and Rome - concentrate on whatever is most constitutive and characteristic of the higher life of society.

Excerpt from The Spirit of Scientific Progress This age is probably not much better than those which have preceded it. It certainly is not much worse. We doubtless indulge in a great deal of self-congratulation because we did' not live when the Anthropos was yet only the Anthropopithecus, when savage man dwelt in caves, or when all instruments were made of stone. Conscious as we are of the progress of the world in the arts, we look forward a few million years and see a state of perfection in all the environments of life which bears the same relation to us that we hold to the squalid troglodytes of prehistoric times. But we are so in love with our own times that we would not be willing to postpone our further existence and have it contin ued in that age of triumph. That is a most happy trait of human nature which, amid all seeming dissatisfaction, remains satisfied. The querulous mur murer will constantly complain, but he would not be willing to exchange his identity for that of the gamboling boy. The tramp might gladly take the wealth of the monopolist but he would be slow to' take his nature. The old bachelor may envy the good fortune of the smooth-faced Adonis, but he would hesitate be fore exchanging intellects. In fact, human nature is far better satisfied with the inevitable than the necessity of the case de mands, and thinks more of itself than its merits justify. And this is one reason that science is not popular. Its pro gress has revealed to humanity that there are still many elements of weakness in man, and shows him that many of his cherished beliefs are illusions.

In this compact volume two of anthropology’s most influential theorists, Paul Rabinow and George E. Marcus, engage in a series of conversations about the past, present, and future of anthropological knowledge, pedagogy, and practice. James D. Faubion joins in several exchanges to facilitate and elaborate the dialogue, and Tobias Rees moderates the discussions and contributes an introduction and an afterword to the volume. Most of the conversations are focused on contemporary challenges to how anthropology understands its subject and how ethnographic research projects are designed and carried out. Rabinow and Marcus reflect on what remains distinctly anthropological about the study of contemporary events and processes, and they contemplate productive new directions for the field. The two converge in Marcus’s emphasis on the need to redesign pedagogical practices for training anthropological researchers and in Rabinow’s proposal of collaborative initiatives in which ethnographic research designs could be analyzed, experimented with, and transformed. Both Rabinow and Marcus participated in the milestone collection Writing Culture: The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography. Published in 1986, Writing Culture catalyzed a reassessment of how ethnographers encountered, studied, and wrote about their subjects. In the opening conversations of Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary, Rabinow and Marcus take stock of anthropology’s recent past by discussing the intellectual scene in which Writing Culture intervened, the book’s contributions, and its conceptual limitations. Considering how the field has developed since the publication of that volume, they address topics including ethnography’s self-reflexive turn, scholars’ increased focus on questions of identity, the Public Culture project, science and technology studies, and the changing interests and goals of students. Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary allows readers to eavesdrop on lively conversations between anthropologists who have helped to shape their field’s recent past and are deeply invested in its future.

What significance does the voice or projected persona in which a text is written have for our understanding of the meaning of that text? This volume explores the persona of the author in antiquity, from Homer to late antiquity, taking into account both Latin and Greek authors from a range of disciplines. The thirteen chapters are divided into two main sections, the first of which focuses on the diverse forms of writing adopted by various ancient authors, and the different ways these forms were used to present and project an authorial voice. The second part of the volume considers questions regarding authority and ascription in relation to the authorial voice. In particular, it looks at how later readers - and later authors - may understand the authority of a text's author or supposed author. The volume contains chapters on pseudo-epigraphy and fictional letters, as well as the use of texts as authoritative in philosophical schools, and the ancient ascription of authorship to works of art.
