New Directions in Phenomenological Anthropology
A collection of essays which demonstrate the importance of phenomenological and existential ideas for anthropology. Emphasizing the link between the empirical and the experiential, this book explores the relationship between phenomenology and other theories of the lifeworld, such as existentialism, radical empiricism, and critical theory.

"The real beauty of this book is that the thinking does not stop . deep in the thickets of philosophic references. Instead, true to the spirit of phenomoenology, we are provided with provocative accounts of how such thinking flows in contemporary anthropological practice." —XCP - Cross Cultural Poetics
In this timely collection, thirteen contemporary ethnographers demonstrate the importance of phenomenological and existential ideas for anthropology. In emphasizing the link between the empirical and the experiential, these ethnographers also explore the relationship between phenomenology and other theories of the lifeworld, such as existentialism, radical empiricism, and critical theory.
