Présentation de l'éditeur
Louis Dumont's modern classic, here presented in an enlarged, revised, and corrected second edition, simultaneously supplies that reader with the most cogent statement on the Indian caste system and its organizing principles and a provocative advance in the comparison of societies on the basis of their underlying ideologies. Dumont moves gracefully from the ethnographic data to the level of the hierarchical ideology encrusted in ancient religious texts which are revealed as the governing conception of the contemporary caste structure. On yet another plane of analysis, homo hierarchicus is contrasted with his modern Western antithesis, homo aequalis. This edition includes a lengthy new Preface in which Dumont reviews the academic discussion inspired by Homo Hierarchicus and answers his critics. A new Postface, which sketches the theoretical and comparative aspects of the concept of hierarchy, and three significant Appendixes previously omitted from the English translation complete this innovative and influential work.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. According to the blurb, 100 years ago, de Tocqueville saw in the new American nation the pure form of the Western democrat, 'homo aequalis.' In this important study, a leading French anthropologist views the caste system of India as the home of a contrasting human type, 'homo hierarchicus.' Includes 9 b/w diagrams/maps etc - no images as the book's binding is so tight. Overall condition is sound: the covers show a little edgewear in places. Internally, the pages are quite tanned; especially at the page margins. pp.431/8vo. Sussex University Bookshop sticker on inside cover. Please note that, depending on destination, we may request a payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges. Proceeds to Amnesty International. Abe2520. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1747126830703
