Description
What image of the human being is offered by contemporary social sciences and humanities? This question lies at the heart of this collective work, which brings together sociology, anthropology, philosophy, historiography, adult education, psychology and evolutionary biology. Although the book is primarily theoretical in its overall focus, its individual chapters contain numerous examples from the real world, ranging from art and weighing to the quadrille, ice hockey, the Barbie doll and people’s relationship with mountains. The book shows that the images of humanity found in different disciplines are not entirely unrelated, but instead allow them to enrich one another. These are not competing “views” of the same subject, but rather opportunities to move freely between different social-science “games”, with the awareness that each has its own limits and rules, as well as its own particular appeal. The contents are in Czech.
