Bøker i Challenges of Life: Essays on philosophical and cultural anthropology-serien

Includes case studies written by an interdisciplinary circle of well-known academics who explore how the capacity of designing life, the concept of free will, and the methods to calculate the future have been changed and adopted in different societies and in different ages.

The body is at the same time a place where we express duration and/or discontinuity in history, and a factor of stabilization and transformation of human life. This book contributes in an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural way to better understand the place, role, and connection of the body within social, political, and cultural shifts.
