A History of Anthropology as a Holistic Science defends the
holistic scientific approach by examining its history, which is in
part a story of adventure, and its sound philosophical foundation.
It shows that activism and the holistic scientific approach need
not compete with one another. This book discusses how anthropology
developed in the nineteenth century during what has been called the
Second Scientific Revolution. It emerged in the United States in
its holistic four field form from the confluence of four lines of
inquiry: the British, the French, the German, and the American. As
the discipline grew and became more specialized, a tendency of
divergence set in that weakened its holistic appeal. Beginning in
the 1960s a new movement arose within the discipline which called
for abandoning science as anthropology's mission in order to
convert into an instrument of social change; a redefinition which
weakens its effectiveness as a way of understanding humankind, and
which threatens to discredit the discipline.
