Whereas most anthropological research is grounded in social, cultural and biological analysis of the human condition, this volume opens up a different approach: its concerns are the psychic depths of human cultural life-worlds as explored through psycho-analytic practice and/or the psychoanalytically framed ethnographic project. In fact, some contributors here argue that the anthropological interpretation of human existence is not sustainable without psychoanalysis; others take a less extreme radical stance but still maintain that the unconscious matrix of the human psyche and of the inters

This volume brings together a collection of seven articles previously published by the author, with a new introduction reframing the articles in the context of past and present questions in anthropology, psychology and human evolution. It promotes the perspective of 'integrated' social science, in which social science questions are addressed in a deliberately eclectic manner, combining results and models from evolutionary biology, experimental psychology, economics, anthropology and history. It thus constitutes a welcome contribution to a gradually emerging approach to social science based on E. O. Wilson's concept of 'consilience'. Human Cultures through the Scientific Lens spans a wide range of topics, from an examination of ritual behaviour, integrating neuro-science, ethology and anthropology to explain why humans engage in ritual actions (both cultural and individual), to the motivation of conflicts between groups. As such, the collection gives readers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the applications of an evolutionary paradigm in the social sciences. This volume will be a useful resource for scholars and students in the social sciences (particularly psychology, anthropology, evolutionary biology and the political sciences), as well as a general readership interested in the social sciences.

4e de couv.: Depuis des décennies, les anthropologues voient dans l'esprit le produit exclusif d'une culture coupée de toute base biologique ou naturelle. Ils ignorent ou rejettent ce que les sciences neuronales et la psychologie cognitive nous apprennent sur le fonctionnement de l'esprit humain. Occupés à distinguer l'inné du culturel, leurs critiques cognitivistes sont quant à eux enfermés dans la même dichotomie. Pour surmonter cette opposition, il faut se représenter la cognition humaine non comme un état de choses statique, mais comme un processus unifié : une dynamique au sein de laquelle on peut distinguer l'histoire et les transformations du développement cognitif individuel, qui se déroulent ensemble. Retrouver une conception unitaire de l'esprit humain, telle est l'entreprise de ce livre novateur. Reprenant des questions classiques et controversées - le temps, le moi et la personne, les catégories de la pensée, la mémoire -, il montre quels bénéfices l'anthropologie pourrait tirer d'un dialogue avec les sciences cognitives.
