  • Artifacts of history: events and the interpretation of images.Marilyn Strathern - 1990 - In Jukka Siikala (ed.), Culture and history in the pacific. pp. 25-44.

    This introduction argues that anthropologists have previously relied on an understanding of concepts that does not allow them to adequately incorporate the study of cultural artifacts into their research.

  • The Present Relations of Science and Religion.C. D. Broad - 1939 - Philosophy 14 (54):131-154.
    Fifty or sixty years ago anyone fluttering the pages of one of the many magazines which then catered for the cultivated and intelligent English reader would have been fairly certain to come upon an article bearing somewhat the same title as that of the present paper. The author would probably be an eminent scientist, such as Huxley or Clifford; a distinguished scholar, such as Frederic Harrison or Edmund Gurney; or a politician of cabinet rank, such as Gladstone or Morley. Whichever (...)
