He is well-known for his early work on India, which culminated in \u003ci\u003eHomo Hierarchicus\u003c\/i\u003e (1966; in English 1972, 1980), an anthropological account of the caste system. He later extended this work into a comparison of the values of Indian and western society in works like \u003ci\u003eEssays on Individualism\u003c\/i\u003e (1986) and \u003ci\u003eGerman ideology: From France to Germany and Back\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). He is also known for pioneering work on kinship in south India and more generally (for example \u003ci\u003eAffinity as a Value\u003c\/i\u003e, 1983). The current volume represents the fruits of this side of his activities and originated in as a series of lectures providing an account of the British and French schools for students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54225034477912,"sku":"9781845451462","price":116.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781845451462_a17d2adb-1119-4fa0-a58e-a3ba96810618.jpg?v=1777091461","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/introduction-to-two-theories-of-social-anthropology","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
