4.9/5 (18067 ratings)

Description:This volume examines the early modern methodology of anthropological and social research from a critical-historical perspective. The two principal methods of research, travel and the questionnaire, are studied in the context of the social conditions and intellectual trends of early modern times. The author weaves together a series of separate studies, emphasizing links between the figures, the philosophies and the literature of early modern times; links which have previously been suspected. In focusing on the "ars apodemica" or "art of travelling," a body of formal instruction on how to travel, observe and record the information gathered, Stagl demonstrates the origins of the characteristic inquisitive and systematizing spirit of the modern West.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
