The Tanner Lectures are a collection of educational and scientific
discussions relating to human values. Conducted by leaders in their
fields, the lectures are presented at renowned institutions around
the world, including the Universities of Oxford, Harvard, and Yale.
In January 2019, University of Toronto's Michael Lambek, professor,
former Canada Research Chair, and member of the Royal Society of
Canada, delivered the Tanner Lecture at the University of
Michigan's Department of Philosophy on the topic of "Concepts and
Persons." As well as tracing his career in social and cultural
anthropology, Lambek's Tanner Lecture spoke on the intersection of
anthropology and philosophy as a means of articulating the moral
basis of human action. By elucidating where anthropology and
philosophy might intersect, Lambek's lecture is a profound
examination of the human condition, and is beautifully captured in
this publication. Concepts and Persons recounts the lecture as
delivered at the prestigious event, the commentary of three
distinguished respondents, and Lambek's own response to that
commentary. The book's presentation of the lecture also includes a
rich and layered set of notes that augment the lecture
significantly, as well as additional clarification and thought that
has developed since the event. Foreword Elizabeth Anderson, John

Thought and in the Department of Philosophy, University of Chicago
