A wealth of voices illustrate and inform the text, showing ways in which individuals creatively 'write', narrate and animate cultural and social life. This is an anthropology imbued with a liberal morality which is willing to make value judgements over and against culture in favour of individuality.\u003cbr\u003eRapport draws widely on ethnographic and theoretic materials bringing into the debate a range of voices, among them Nietzsche, Wilde, George Steiner, Richard Rorty, John Berger and Anthony Cohen. In doing so he approaches individuality in terms of a range of issues: biological integrity, consciousness, agency, democracy, discourse, globalism, knowledge and play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614689050775,"sku":"9780415169660","price":20357.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415169660.webp?v=1775095555","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/transcendent-individual-essays-toward-a-literary-and-liberal-anthropology-9780415169660","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
