Constraints in Cultural Engineering, Exotopic Observation and Truth.This volume explores the forms of knowledge generated by exoticizing the subject studied. It analyzes monogamy in Western cultures from a cultural distance. First, from the cultural perspective of a Kenyan writer who underlines the moral evils unwittingly generated by a system imposing universal monogamy and generating annual cohorts of illegitimate children. Then, the essay considers the case of France, which, starting in the 1970’s, changed its laws regarding children born out of wedlock. Such children have now become legitimate. Unwittingly, this has allowed for polygyny or polyandry to become legal options for French males and females. The analysis is further extended to Western Europe, two Latin American nations and to the contemporary U.S.A. with its polyamory movement, where legal outcomes similar to those of France have occurred. The volume examines monogamy by using the epistemological approach that is typically used in the anthropological study of cultures other than one’s own, showing how exotic and strange the system of monogamy can look, when observed from afar, from the eyes of many non-Westerners. It gives insight into planes of the human Western experience that would normally remain invisible. Students and teachers will delight in the close-to-home debates stimulated by this evocative thought-provoking essay.Anthropology and Ethics,2195-0822 ;2AnthropologySociologyAnthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Anthropology.Sociology.Anthropology.Sociology, general.306.8423Legros Dominiqueauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut943083BOOK9910298074603321Mainstream Polygamy2128280UNINA03435nam 22005173 450 991102082540332120250817090354.01-003-51440-51-04-042983-1(MiAaPQ)EBC32077163(Au-PeEL)EBL32077163(CKB)40332826700041(OCoLC)1535403435(NjHacI)9940332826700041(EXLCZ)994033282670004120250817d2025 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierInductive Metaphysics Insights, Challenges, and Prospects1st ed.Oxford :Taylor & Francis Group,2025.©2025.1 online resource (371 pages)Routledge Studies in Metaphysics Series1-04-042985-8 1-03-284674-7 Cover -- Half Title -- Series Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Editors' Preface -- Introduction to the Contributions -- List of Contributors -- Part 1 Inductive Metaphysics in the History of Philosophy and Contemporary Philosophy -- 1 Inductive Metaphysics - Reconstruction and Defence -- 2 Inductive Metaphysics in Contemporary Philosophy: Insights, Challenges, and Prospects -- 3 Inductive Metaphysics in the Context of Two Movements: Critical Realism and Logical Empiricism -- 4 Inductive Reasoning in Kant's Metaphysics of Nature -- Part 2 Inductive Metaphysics and the Method of Abduction -- 5 The Indefeasibility of Abduction -- 6 Logical Abductivism: Challenges and Prospects -- 7 Abduction in Philosophy of Mind -- Part 3 Ground, Explanation, and Data in the Context of Inductive Metaphysics -- 8 Inductive Metaphysics: Lessons for the Notion of Ground -- 9 Skepticism about Metaphysical Explanation -- 10 Data, Curve-Fitting, and Model-Building in the Metaphysics of Laws and Causation -- Part 4 Inductive Metaphysics and the Formation of Concepts -- 11 Naturalness and Concept Learning: Recent Progress and Prospects -- 12 Conceptual Re-Engineering for Inductive Metaphysicians -- Part 5 Inductive Metaphysics in the Philosophy of Physics -- 13 Simplicity as a Guide to Scientific Metaphysics: Insights from Physics -- 14 On Solving the Problem of the Direction of Time -- Part 6 Inductive Metaphysics in the Philosophy of the Life Sciences -- 15 Causal Bases of Potentialities in the Life Sciences: Extrinsicality, Multi-Levelness, and Processuality -- 16 Metaphysics of Evolution and the Propensity Concept of Fitness -- Author Index -- Subject Index.Inductive Metaphysics justifies metaphysical principles by inductive or abductive inferences from empirical evidence, rather than by purely logico-conceptual considerations.
