Mind Blowing

Advance warning that I'm coming to the end of this book, previously mentioned here, which means there's an extensive review in the offing.


If I can bear to finish it, that is.

Nah, you don't need to give us a review. We've all read it. What I think of it is that, if anthropology consists of making others logically compelling in their own cultural settings and intellectually revealing of the human condition, then David Graeber is the consumate anthropologist. Not only does he accomplish this profound feat, he redoubles it by the critical task—now more urgent than ever—of making the possibilities of other people's worlds the basis for understanding our own.

So, as I say, no need for the review ;-)

Yeah, you're right.

That's pretty much what I was going to say anyway.
