All the major techniques of inquiry which anthropology students now
take for granted were first set out in this book. In 1800 Degerando
wrote these Considerations on the Various Methods to Follow in the
Observation of Savage Peoples as a memoir to serve as guidance to
the members of the Societe des Observateurs de l'Homme in an
impending expedition to Australia. Degerando's originality lies in
his recognizing and stating that the observations of previous
explorers were casual and superficial. The advice to the members of
the expedition listed topics about which observations should be
made and how they should be made. First published in 1969.

This is a book about the philosophy of Henri Bergson (1859-1941)
which shows how relevant Bergson is to much contemporary
philosophy. The book takes as its point of departure Bergson's
insistence on precision in philosophy. It then discusses a variety
of topics including laughter, the nature of time as experienced,
how intelligence and language should be construed as a pragmatic
product of evolution, and the antinomies of reason represented by
magic and religion. This is not just another exposition of
Bergson's work. It offers an account of why Bergson commanded such
a massive reading public in his own day and why he deserves to be
read now. Written in a terse and clear style, this book will prove
appealing to teachers and students of philosophy, cognitive
science, psychology, religious studies and literature.
