The modern enterprise of anthropology, with all of its important implications for cross-cultural perceptions, perspectives, and self-consciousness, emerged from the eighteenth-century intellectual context of the Enlightenment. If the Renaissance discovered perspective in art, it was the Enlightenment that articulated and explored the problem of perspective in viewing history, culture, and society. If the Renaissance was the age of oceanic discovery - most dramatically the discovery of the New World of America - the critical reflections of the Enlightenment brought about an intellectual rediscovery of the New World and thus laid the foundations for modern anthropology. The contributions that constitute this book present the multiple anthropological facets of the Enlightenment, and suggest that the character of its intellectual engagements - acknowledging global diversity, interpreting human societies, and bridging cultural difference - must be understood as a whole to be fundamentally anthropological.
