"Morality: An Anthropological Perspective" provides the first account of anthropological approaches to the question of morality. By considering how morality is viewed and enacted in different cultures, and how it is related to key social institutions such as religion, law, gender, sexuality and medical practice, "Morality" takes a closer look at some of the most central questions of the morality debates of our time. The book is accessibly written and combines theory with practical case studies for student use. Drawing on anthropological, philosophical and general social scientific literature, the book will be useful for both undergraduate students and researchers.
