If the Renaissance discovered perspective in art, it was the Enlightenment that articulated and explored the problem of perspective in viewing history, culture, and society. If the Renaissance was the age of oceanic discovery?most dramatically the discovery of the New World of America?the critical reflections of the Enlightenment brought about an intellectual rediscovery of the New World and thus laid the foundations for modern anthropology. The contributions that constitute this book present the multiple anthropological facets of the Enlightenment, and suggest that the character of its intellectual engagements?acknowledging global diversity, interpreting human societies, and bridging cultural difference?must be understood as a whole to be fundamentally anthropological. 606 $aAnthropology$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAnthropology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEnlightenment 615 0$aAnthropology$xHistory 615 0$aAnthropology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEnlightenment. 676 $a301.09033 702 $aAgnani$b Sunil 702 $aCipolloni$b Marco 702 $aWolff$b Larry 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154724103321 996 $aThe anthropology of the enlightenment$92870835 997 $aUNINA
