That there are multiple ways of knowing the world has become a
truism. What meaning is left in the sheer familiarity of the
phrase? The essays here consider how humans come to know themselves
and their worlds. Should anthropologists should seek complexity or
simplicity in their analyses of other societies? By going beyond
the notion that a way of knowing is a perspective on the world,
this book explores paths to understanding, as people travel along
them, craft their knowledge and shape experience. The topics
examined here range from illness to ignorance, teaching
undergraduates in Scotland to learning a Brazilian martial arts
dance, Hegels concept of the dialectic to the poetry of a Swahili
philosopher. A central concern is how anthropologists can know and
write about the silent, the concealed and the embodied.
