Kant's Racist Anthropology in Context
The significance of Kant’s racism is typically addressed in terms of his own philosophy. By contextualizing his approach among contemporary ways of integrating fresh evidence for human variation (ethnography) into the study of human nature (anthropology), it becomes clear, not just how extraordinarily racist his way was, but also how and why this is so. For Kant, unlike his peers, ethnography and anthropology did not sit easily together; the form…

Dreams From Homer to Plato
In archaic and classical literature dreams often appear as independent entities that enter human consciousness as messengers or omens. In Homer a god can come in a dream-always in disguise-or can send a dream. Dreams are insubstantial, like the psychai; a psyche like a god may come in a dream. If a dream bears a message (which may be a lie) it declares itself a messenger; ominous dreams simply arrive and require interpretation-which may be errone…

Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice
The interpretation of animal sacrifice, now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual, has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert, the late J.-P. Vernant, and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and, in particular, no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writ…

The Polis
This article reflects on changes in social structures from the eighth century BCE. It describes the rise of the polis and the different characteristics of the city-states that have formed at various times and places. The rise of the polis is an aspect of a more general history or it is an aggregate of many histories. The two poleis most famous in ancient as in modern times were also the two most atypical. Overall, the polis was not about equality…

Introduction : Alors que la médecine conventionnelle connaît des progrès fantastiques, de plus en plus de nos concitoyens se tournent vers des thérapies complémentaires alternatives comme celles proposées par les guérisseurs-magnétiseurs-barreurs de feu pour soulager des douleurs ou apaiser des souffrances. Objet de l’étude : Cette étude à la fois anthropologique et médicale se propose, à travers une rencontre avec 25 magnétiseurs et 120 médecins…

Speech as a Personality Symbol
Individual speech is a minimal system of language use and variation and yet, despite its theoretical interest, has been neglected; syntax (as against phonology) has been egregiously ignored. This article, stimulated by the work of Adam Parry and of Sapir, partly solves a thorny problem over two millennia old. Using total samples of Achilles and his interlocutors, the authors establish nine categories of discriminatory variables in rhetoric, disco…
