This book deals with anthropological ideas, which it confronts with what seems to be a difficulty in anthropology: the human being, each singular human being, taken in themselves. Following this line of reading, the authors take us from Benedict to Radcliffe-Brown or Strathern. They focus particularly on contemporary theories of ecological, psychological, phenomenological and existential anthropology. It is this last direction that the authors wish to emphasise, devoting a final chapter to what would be an anthropology of the human being. Radically critical of the relationalism and the tyranny of context in anthropological theories, this book combining text and drawings is a necessary document for researchers and students, as well as for all those interested in understanding the singularity of each being. Perhaps, after this book, readers will no longer consider anthropology in the same manner...
