Beskrivning
Bringing together contributions from anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and philosophy, along with ethnographic case studies from diverse settings, this volume explores how different disciplinary perspectives on the good might engage with and enrich each other. The chapters examine how people realize the good in social life, exploring how ethics and values relate to forms of suffering, power and inequality, and, in doing so, demonstrate how focusing on the good enhances social theory. This is the first interdisciplinary engagement with what it means to study the good as a fundamental aspect of social life.

Recensioner i media

“This is a highly commendable piece of literature that will surely enrich the understanding of the intersection of social theory and philosophy as it relates to the good, and its interdisciplinary approach makes a complex topic both approachable and applicable for a diverse readership.” • Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute“This is a stimulating collection that generatively engages an emerging area across multiple disciplines. The volume's structure is tightly conceptualized, and the essays often provocative. The volume is well poised to earn a committed readership.” • James Bielo, Miami University
