In this volume, Christoph Antweiler reasserts the importance of these cross-cultural commonalities for anthropological research and for life and co-existence beyond the academy. The question presented here is how anthropology can help us approach humanity in its entirety, understanding the world less as a globe, with an emphasis on differences, but as a planet, from a vantage point open to commonalities.Universals (Philosophy)AnthropologyPhilosophyCivilizationHistoryUniversals (Philosophy)AnthropologyPhilosophy.CivilizationHistory.301.072Antweiler Christoph867088Kerns DianeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813021803321Our common denominator3925370UNINA
