Tractatus Sociologico-Philosophicus
Men make themselves radically different pictures of reality. A "vision of reality," a style of thought, a culture, is in fact an ongoing process, one that contains internal options, alternatives, and disagreements. A culture must give some reasons, however dogmatic, for selecting that which it does select and for excluding that which it excludes, and thus in a way it concedes that things could be otherwise. Perhaps radically different visions are…

Postmodernism, Reason and Religion
There is a tendency for the major intellectual conflicts in human history to be binary. Great issues polarize mankind. In the Wars of Religion, Catholics faced Protestants; later, it was Faith which confronted Reason. During more recent times, liberalism competed with socialism. Minor schismatics would of course make alliances across the great divide; political opportunism will lead to the oddest liaisons, and, tactically, both doctrinal and poli…

Contemporary Thought and Politics
Gellner's political philosophy in these volumes combines the down-to-earth realism of political sociology with a rational treatment of the normative issues of traditional political thought. In these essays Gellner strives to understand the religions of nationalism, communism and democracy, returning again and again to the basic values of the liberal: social tolerance, rational criticism, human decency and justice.
Sociology and social anthropology
Cause and Meaning in the Social Sciences
This volume focuses on key conceptual issues in the social sciences, such as Winch's idea of a social science, structuralism, Malinowski and Evans-Pritchard, and the concept of kinship. In particular it deals with such problems as the relationship of nature and culture, the relevance of concepts drawn from within a given society to its understanding, and the relation of theory to time

Ernest Gellner (1925–95) has been described as 'one of the last great central European polymath intellectuals'. His last book, first published in 1998, throws light on two leading thinkers of their time.

It is a great honour to have elicited comments from such a distinguished assembly of scholars and thinkers, and I feel greatly moved by this. The papers range over a large number of topics and more than one of them leaves me feeling out of my depth, conceptually

Relativism and the Social Sciences
The Soviet and the Savage [and Comments and Replies]
Social anthropology, in the West and in Russia, sprang in part from an interest in the evolution of mankind: "primitive" society was relevant as a kind of surrogate time-machine, as evidence about the earlier "stages" in the development of human society. But the British and Russian traditions went in markedly different directions in the 20th century. Under the impact of the Malinowskian revolution, social anthropology in Britain acquired a marked…
Nature and Society in Social Anthropology
This article is concerned to argue that the social sciences and notably social anthropology, must necessarily be concerned with the physical environment of the societies investigated (which includes the biological nature of its members), and not only with the social reality which is at the centre of their concern. This is argued with special reference to fields such as kinship and politics, and to social relationships such as paternity or feuding…

The Politics of Anthropology
ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY ORIGINALLY FOUND THEIR more immediate inspiration in an evolutionary or Jacob's Ladder vision of human societies, the idea of Progress. Social forms were seen as located along some great Chain of Being, which eventually leads to this-worldly salvation by this-worldly means. But there the resemblance ends. Sociology was rooted in a primarily historical evolutionism, in the perception, by the generation of Condorcet and H…

Ideal Language and Kinship Structure
This paper is inter-disciplinary. Its disadvantage is that the author is not sufficiently conversant with the disciplines it is inter. He may however, like Lord Wavell, claim that at least the thread that binds them is his own. The paper is of philosophic interest in that it is inspired by, and hopes to shed some light on, the notion of an ideal language. It is of interest to social anthropology in that its main subject is kinship structure. It m…
