Anthropology has long shied away from examining how human beings may lead happy and fulfilling lives. This book, however, shows that the ethnographic examination of well-being defined as the optimal state for an individual, a community, and a society and the comparison of well-being within and across societies is a new and important area for anthropological inquiry. Distinctly different in different places, but also reflecting our common humanity, well-being is intimately linked to the idea of happiness and its pursuits. Noted anthropological researchers have come together in this volume to ex

This book presents the personal narratives of six Palestinians--four men and two women--whose stories are central to describing the greater Palestinian plight in the Gaza Strip, the Intifada, the beginning of the 1993 peace process, and beyond. Each Palestinian has related crucial events in his or her life story, and by reading their accounts, we come to see the struggle through their eyes and put a human face on events that Western media and consciousness have only partially explored.

Truth and myth are predominant themes in Martin Heidegger’s thinking. Heidegger showed that ancient Greek understanding of truth as aletheia ("unconcealment") can teach us about learning from the wisdom that is found in myths and can also enhance human existence. This book describes some of Heidegger’s major insights concerning truth as aletheia and their implications. It also shows how Heidegger’s thinking on truth discloses the shallowness and the disrespect for truth in the writings of four well-known postmodernist writers: Lyotard, MacIntyre, Rorty, and Derrida.
