More about the book
Exploring the philosophical contributions of Emmanuel Levinas, this work challenges traditional anthropology's claims of understanding humanity. It posits that subjectivity and identity are inherently 'secret,' advocating for an ethics rooted in 'not-knowing' to truly appreciate 'otherness.' The book argues for anthropology's evolution into a humanistic science that authentically documents social life, intertwining Levinasian philosophy with anthropological principles to draw meaningful conclusions about the nature of human existence.
