Resumo
In this response to Michael Lempert’s “No ordinary ethics,” Lambek considers the implications of Lempert’s argument for an anthropology of ethics. He suggests that Lempert’s work, along with other recent work in the anthropology of ethics, pushes the field away from a focus on moral reasoning and judgment toward a concern with the immanent, embodied, and affective dimensions of ethical life. Lambek explores the implications of this shift for understanding the relationship between ethics and reason, the role of the body in ethical experience, and the nature of ethical transformation.
