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. 606 $aUniversals (Philosophy) 606 $aAnthropology$xPhilosophy 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 615 0$aUniversals (Philosophy) 615 0$aAnthropology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 676 $a301.072 700 $aAntweiler$b Christoph$0867088 702 $aKerns$b Diane 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813021803321 996 $aOur common denominator$93925370 997 $aUNINA
