{"product_id":"redeeming-anthropology","title":"Redeeming Anthropology","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnthropologists have invariably engaged in their discipline as a form of redemption, whether to escape from social restriction, nourish their souls, reform their home polities, or vindicate \"the natives.\" Redeeming Anthropology explores how in pursuit of a secular science sired by the Enlightenment, adherents to a \"faith in mankind\" have vacillated between rejecting and embracing theology, albeit in concealed and contradictory ways. Mining the biographical\n\u003cbr\u003eregisters of the American, British, and French anthropological traditions, Khaled Furani argues that despite all efforts to the contrary, theological sediments remain in this disciplining discipline. Rather\n\u003cbr\u003ethan continuing to forget, deny, and sequester it, theology can serve as a mirror for introspection, as a source of critique offering invaluable tools for revitalization: for thinking anew not only anthropology's study of others' cultures, but also its very own reason.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934938693870,"sku":"9780198796435","price":148.37,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198796435.jpg?v=1706247523","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/redeeming-anthropology","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
