Dwelling (eBook, ePUB)

Heidegger, Archaeology, Mortality

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dwelling: Heidegger, Archaeology, Mortality negotiates discourses in phenomenology, archaeology and palaeoanthropology relating to the 'dwelling perspective', an approach that developed out of an engagement with the thought of Martin Heidegger.

This unique book expands on accounts of death awareness in early humans, reading Heidegger in connection to developments in the archaeology of mortuary practice. It explores death awareness as a way of 'being-in-the-world', whilst challenging the related anthropocentric assumptions about the division between humans and pre-humans.

This volume will be of special interest to graduate students and advanced undergraduates as well as professionals.
