Description
Pyschological anthropology is a vital area of contemporary social science, and one of the fields most important and innovative thinkers is Melford E. Spiro. This volume brings together sixteen essays that review Spiros theoretical insights and extend them into new areas. The essays center on several general problems: In what ways is it meaningful to speak of a social act as having functions? What elements and processes of human personality are universal, and why? What is the relationship between religion and personality? Why? What are the pyschological underpinnings of social manipulation?
