In a highly original work, Stephen A. Tyler poses a severe challenge to the epistemological premises that underlie modern anthropology. Combing the contributions of scholars such as Walter Ong, Jacques Derrida, and Charles S. Pierce with his own anthro-linguistic experiences, Tyler offers a postmodern orientation to anthropology which, in the author's words, "seeks to atone for the original sin of language, that separation of speech and world we know as the disjunction of words and things." His work will be of interest not only to anthropologists and rhetoricians, but to scholars throughout the humanities and the social sciences. Tyler evokes the Western tradition of speculative thought as a set of rhetorical means that repeat themselves over and over again in history. He describes the metaleptic process of Western thought and identifies the key metaphors, narratives, and allegories that constitute it and make it possible. He tells how the hegemonic categories of ontology, epistemology, and metaphysics express themselves in the concepts of the self, objects, and language. At the same time, he shows how these recapitulate mythic themes from the Indo-European past- themes that equate cosmic order, social order, and mind- and make an identity between what is known and the structure of knowing. Finally, Tyler reminds readers that what he recounts is a creature of a written discourse reflecting on itself and the means of the book's writing.

India: An Anthropological Perspective

This book provides in a relatively few number of pages a comprehensive study of civilizational processes and cultural structures in India. It covers many Indias, both fictional and real, from the India of the ancients, to the India of geographers, as well as the India defined by modern political divisions between India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ceylon, and Nepal. The development of Indian culture is seen as the realization of basic cognitive orientations, of Indian ways of perceiving the universe. In particular, the author demonstrates the continuity of Indian conceptions of the relation between humankind and the universe, the microcosm and the macrocosm, clearly showing that these underlying cognitive processes and categories persist through transformations and reorderings of Indian ways of life.
