About this product
Product Information
Philosophy and anthropology have long debated questions of difference: rationality versus irrationality, abstraction versus concreteness, modern versus premodern. What if these disciplines instead focused on the commonalities of human experience? Would this effort bring philosophers and anthropologists closer together? Would it lead to greater insights across historical and cultural divides? In As Wide as the World Is Wise , Michael Jackson encourages philosophers and anthropologists to mine the space between localized and globalized perspectives, to resolve empirically the distinctions between the one and the many and between life and specific forms of life. His project balances abstract epistemological practice with immanent reflection, promoting a more situated, embodied, and sensuous approach to the world and its in-between spaces. Drawing on a lifetime of ethnographic fieldwork in West Africa and Aboriginal Australia, Jackson resets the language and logic of academic thought from the standpoint of other lifeworlds. He extends Kant's cosmopolitan ideal to include all human societies, achieving a radical break with elite ideas of the subjective and a more expansive conception of truth.

Reviews
As Wide as the World Is Wise is a book that gives any soul tortured by questions arising from the way the world is today a feeling that one has found an author who has heard the torment of such a soul and has offered instructions on how to live with these questions, not because they have been solved but because these questions have been heard without recourse to sentimentalism or quick-fix solutions., Jackson's marvelous book delivers ethnographic evidence for philosophical issues originating from the necessities of ordinary life; reminding us that philosophy actually never was (just) a matter of academic discourse and abstract thinking, but always has been rooted in various media - myths, tales, rites, sayings etc. - that express the diversities of life forms, their norms and values, their existential truths and wisdom., Jackson's marvelous book delivers ethnographic evidence for philosophical issues originating from the necessities of ordinary life, reminding us that philosophy actually never was (just) a matter of academic discourse and abstract thinking but has always been rooted in various media-myths, tales, rites, sayings-that express the diversities of life-forms, their norms and values, and their existential truths and wisdom., At the heart of Jackson's project is the option of opening oneself to different modalities and accepting or even embracing the ways in which one's position, beliefs, or practices as a scholar may also be reshaped., In a time when anthropologists are increasingly drawing on and engaging with philosophy and philosophers, Michael Jackson has given us the best account thus far of how this might be possible. Eschewing the common anthropological criticism that philosophy it too universalizing and abstract, Jackson shows us how in our time much philosophical practice is an attempt to think through the immediate and pressing issues of everyday existence. Anthropology, Jackson argues, is perfectly positioned to contribute significantly to such thinking. The result is an important and innovative articulation of a potential philosophical anthropology., Jackson's marvelous book delivers ethnographic evidence for philosophical issues originating from the necessities of ordinary life, reminding us that philosophy actually never was (just) a matter of academic discourse and abstract thinking but has always been rooted in various media--myths, tales, rites, sayings--that express the diversities of life-forms, their norms and values, and their existential truths and wisdom., This is a book that gives any soul that is tortured by questions that arise from the way the world is today a feeling that one has found an author who has heard the torment of such a soul and has offered instruction on how to live with these questions, not because they have been solved, but because these questions have been heard without recourse to sentimentalism or quick fix solutions., At a time when anthropologists are increasingly drawing on and engaging with philosophy and philosophers, Jackson has given us the best account thus far of how this might be possible.
