Description

A pioneering attempt to formulate an anthropological approach to consciousness, Questions of Consciousness explores the importance of the conscious self, and of the `conscious collectively', in the construction and interpretation of social relations and process.

It thereby explicitly raises questions, the answers to which have previously been neglected in anthropology: how aware are people of their behaviour?

To what extent is the consciousness of individuals modelled by the cultures and social structures within which they live?
