About This Item
Boulder, CO Pluto Press, 1994. Paperback First Ed Thus; First Printing indicated. First Ed Thus; First Printing indicated. Very Good in Wraps: shows indications of careful use: spine leans considerably; else only light wear to the extremities; very mild rubbing to the wrapper covers; binding secure; text clean. Flawed, and certainly no longer 'As New', but remains clean, sturdy, and quite presentable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. xii, 222pp. Bibliography. Index. Sewn binding. (Anthropology, Culture and Society Series, Edited by Dr. Richard Wilson). Academic Press Paperback. This book looks at the 'self' in Western, Asian and African societies passing though Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confuscism, Tao and African philosophy and ending with contemporary feminism. Scholarly and written in a lucid style, free of jargon, this work is written from an anthropological perspective with an interdisciplinary approach. Morris emphasises the varying conceptions of the self found cross-culturally and contrasts these with the conceptions found in the Western intellectual traditions.
