This second edition of Reclaiming a Scientific Anthropology arrives
at just the right time, as new advances in science increasingly
affect anthropologists of all stripes. Lawrence Kuznar begins by
reviewing the basic issues of scientific epistemology in
anthropology as they have taken shape over the life of the
discipline. He then describes postmodern and other critiques of
both science and scientific anthropology, and he concludes with
stringent analyses of these debates. This new edition brings this
important text firmly into the 21st century; it not only updates
the scholarly debates but it describes new research techniques such
as computer modeling systems that could not have been imagined just
a decade ago. In a field that has become increasingly divided over
basic methods of reasearch and interpretation, Kuznar makes a
powerful argument that anthropology should return to its roots in
empirical science.
