A. L. Kroeber 
An Anthropologist Looks at History [EPUB ebook] 

Sokongan

This title compiles influential essays by Alfred Kroeber, written in the last decade of his life, reflecting his deep exploration of human culture, civilization, and history through an anthropological lens. Curated by Milton Singer and Theodora Kroeber, this collection showcases Kroeber’s unique perspective on the intersections of anthropology, history, and the humanities. Rather than focusing solely on ethnology or linguistic analysis, Kroeber broadens his scope to address questions about style, civilization patterns, and the historical continuity of cultures. His view of anthropology as a young, evolving science with ancient philosophical roots demonstrates his belief in the discipline’s role in understanding human progress.
The volume aims to engage both historians and anthropologists by presenting Kroeber’s reflections on culture and the human condition, especially for a generation of scholars and students whose approach to anthropology is less historically oriented. Kroeber’s personal approach to his field, developed over a lifetime of teaching and exploring anthropological themes such as ‘Culture Growth, ‘ emphasizes the evolving nature of culture as an ‘aggregate’ that shapes civilizations and values. By tracing Kroeber’s intellectual journey, the book underscores the importance of historical context in anthropology, positioning it as a field capable of enriching broader humanistic inquiries and advancing our understanding of civilization’s aesthetic, ethical, and structural evolution.
