Reviews
"This is a noteworthy and laudable effort to bridge Enlightenment thought, that Age of Reason, with the social world of today, which many would assert is an Age of Unreason. - Lee Drummond, McGill University, Canada
This brilliant book illuminates acute issues in anthropology on methodology, ontology and epistemology by suggesting an anthropologically inspired moral voice and vision. - Helena Wulff, Stockholm University, Sweden
This wide-ranging collection of essays clearly demonstrates the undiminished value of Enlightenment thinking. - Martin L. Davies, University of Leicester, UK
The mandate of this exciting collection is a re-engagement with Enlightenment ideas, particularly the concept of "moral sentiment". Its accomplished set of authors challenge us to consider what such ideas mean for contemporary anthropological practice and theory. - Vered Amit, Concordia University, Canada"
