Anthropologists have been keenly aware of the tension between
cultural relativism and absolute norms, and nowhere has this been
more acute than with regards to moral values. Can we study the
Other's morality without applying our own normative judgments? How
do social anthropologists keep both the distance required by
science and the empathy required for the analysis of lived
experiences? The plurality of moralities has not received an
explicit and focused attention until recently, when accelerated
globalization often resulted in the collision of different value
systems. Observing, describing and assessing values
cross-culturally, the authors propose various methodological
approaches to the study of moralities, illustrated with rich
ethnographic accounts, thus offering a valuable guide for students
of anthropology, sociology and cultural studies and for
professionals concerned with the empirical and cross-cultural study
of values.
