The advent of heroic anthropology in the history of ideas.Albert Doja - 2005 - Journal of the History of Ideas 66 (4):633-650.details In this article the advent of Lévi-Strauss's structural anthropology is described as a reaction against the predominantly phenomenological bias of French philosophy in the post-war years as well as against the old humanism of existentialism which seemed parochial both in its confinement to a specific tradition of western philosophy and in its lack of interest in scientific approach. Nevertheless, the paradigm of structural anthropology cannot be equated with the field of structuralism, which became a very contestable form of intellectual fashion. (...)

(1 other version)Scientific explanations of mystical experiences: Evan Fales.Evan Fales - 1996 - Religious Studies 32 (3):297-313.details In Part I of this paper, I took up a challenge posed by Alston , Wainwright , Yandell , and other theists who hold the rather natural view that mystical experiences provide perceptual contact with God, roughly on a par with the access sense experience affords to the natural world. These theists recognize, at the same time, that the plausibility of this view would be significantly compromised by the possibility of scientifically explaining mystical experiences – especially if a scientific explanation (...)

Anthropology without Belief: An Anti-representationalist Ontological Turn.Mark Risjord - 2020 - Philosophy of the Social Sciences 50 (6):586-609.details Rejecting the category of belief is one of the most striking and profound ideas to emerge from the ontological turn. This essay will argue that the rejection of belief is best understood as part of a broader rejection of representationalism. Representationalism regards thought, speech, and intentionality as depending primarily on the mind’s ability to manipulate beliefs, ideas, meanings, or similar contents. Some central strands of the ontological turn thus participate in the philosophical project of understanding human life without appeal to (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 5 citations
(1 other version)Scientific Explanations of Mystical Experiences: II. The Challenge to Theism.Evan Fales - 1996 - Religious Studies 32 (3):297-313.details In Part I of this paper, I argued that the mystical experiences of Teresa of Avila are well explained by the anthropological theory of I. M. Lewis. In Part II, I discuss how the causal gap between the social circumstances identified by Lewis and individual phenomenology can be filled in. I then show that Lewis's theory, thus supplemented, is a genuine competitor to the theistic understanding of mystical experience, and that it is much more strongly confirmed by the available evidence (...)

Disgust, Gender, and Social Change.Geoff Kushnick, Daniel M. T. Fessler & Fikarwin Zuska - 2016 - Human Nature 27 (4):533-555.details Among the Karo of Indonesia, the frequency of matrilateral cross-cousin (impal) marriage has declined in recent decades. We conducted a vignette experiment to assess the contributions of a handful of factors in shaping this pattern. Surprisingly, we found that cosocialization of a hypothetical woman with her impal led to increased judgments of marriage likelihood and decreased feelings of disgust in male and female respondents (n = 154). We also found that females, more than males, judged impal marriage more likely when (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
