Reclaiming a Scientific Anthropology

Postmodernists and moralists will not like this book, but they will have difficulty dismissing Kuznar's critique. This books brings together a historical survey with contemporary arguments about science, demonstrating that most of the current anti-science arguments have been answered at length by philosophers of science. -- Roy D'Andrade, (University of California, San Diego)
Kuznar makes a strident plea for putting some semblance of science back into anthropology….An obvious acquisition for college and university libraries where there are broad programs in humanities and the sciences. * CHOICE *
What makes this book so useful for students and teachers of undergraduate and graduate classes on anthropological research…is that it is a careful, reasoned attempt to put something back, after the certainties have been removed from under students' feet. * Critique Of Anthropology *
A timely, thoughtful and civil intervention in the disputes that dominate our fractious discipline. -- Marvin Harris, University of Florida
