«Essays on the Anthropology of Reason» is a book of essays by Paul Rabinow published by Princeton University Press in paperback (190 pages, in English).
Paul Rabinow proposes subjecting the West to the anthropological gaze: exoticizing what is taken as universal and showing that its truths arise from concrete social practices. He addresses modern rationality through molecular biology, the Human Genome Project, biotechnology, and science as a vocation, and closes in dialogue with biochemist Tom White.
Published in 1996 in the Princeton Studies in Culture/Power/History series. First edition; includes bibliography and index.
A work for readers interested in anthropology, philosophy of science, and critical thought on modernity.
