«The Dialectics of Social Life» is Robert Murphy's anthropology essay, published by Columbia University Press in paperback (261 pages, in English).
The book traces the path from Hegel, Marx, Freud, Durkheim and Simmel to modern anthropology. Robert Murphy criticises established social science, which offers a partial picture of reality, and proposes a non-Marxist dialectic: the contradictions between ideology and behaviour are existential for humanity.
The work originally appeared in 1971; this edition is from 1980. The subtitle is «Alarms and Excursions in Anthropological Theory».
For university students and academic audiences interested in anthropological theory.
