Sinopse

In "Rogers-isms, the Cowboy Philosopher on the Peace Conference," Will Rogers employs his signature blend of humor and wit to reflect on the complexities of international diplomacy in the wake of World War I. Drawing from his experiences as a performer and commentator, Rogers captures the absurdities and challenges of the peace process, utilizing a conversational style infused with folksy wisdom that engages readers while provoking thought. This collection of reflections, published in 1919, serves as both a critique and an endorsement of political figures and their decisions, highlighting the dissonance between public opinion and bureaucratic action during a tumultuous period in history. Will Rogers, a self-proclaimed "Cowboy Philosopher," emerged as a beloved cultural icon through his insightful commentary on contemporary issues. His unique perspective, shaped by his upbringing in Oklahoma and experiences in vaudeville and film, allowed him to translate complex political ideas into relatable concepts for the everyday American. The sincerity and clarity of his messages resonated with a broad audience, reflecting the collective sentiments of a nation grappling with the aftermath of conflict. Rogers' work remains relevant today, making his observations essential reading for anyone interested in politics, philosophy, or the human condition. "Rogers-isms" not only delights with its humor but also challenges readers to consider the broader implications of peace and governance. This book is a treasure trove for scholars, students, and anyone seeking insight into the societal mindset of post-war America.

    Nihilism is often misunderstood as mere pessimism or despair, yet it is far more complex than a simple rejection of hope. At its core, nihilism is the philosophical stance that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. This perspective challenges the foundations of morality, knowledge, and existence itself, questioning whether anything possesses objective significance. While nihilism can evoke feelings of emptiness and disillusionment, it can also serve as a liberating force, stripping away illusions and compelling individuals to forge their own meaning. 
    The term "nihilism" originates from the Latin word "nihil," meaning "nothing." Though traces of nihilistic thought can be found in ancient skepticism, it was in the 19th century that the philosophy gained prominence. Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared the "death of God," arguing that traditional religious and moral values had lost their authority. He warned that without these guiding structures, society risked falling into despair and meaninglessness. However, Nietzsche did not advocate surrendering to nihilism but instead sought a way to overcome it through the creation of new values. Russian nihilists of the same era took a different approach, rejecting societal norms and advocating for radical change, often through extreme means. Their interpretation of nihilism fueled revolutionary movements, demonstrating its potential to inspire both destruction and transformation.  
    Nihilism manifests in various forms, from existential and moral nihilism to epistemological and political nihilism. Existential nihilism is perhaps the most well-known, asserting that life has no ultimate purpose or inherent meaning. This idea has been explored by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, who wrestled with the absurdity of existence.

    From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Gods, spirits, and ancestors have left us for a transcendent beyond. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights. 
     
     
     
    In this, his last, revelatory book, Marshall Sahlins announces a new method and sets an exciting agenda for the field. He takes listeners around the world. In the process, Sahlins sheds new light on classical and contemporary ethnographies that describe these cultures of immanence and reveals how even the apparently mundane, all-too-human spheres of "economics" and "politics" emerge as people negotiate with, and ultimately usurp, the powers of the gods. 
     
     
     
    The New Science of the Enchanted Universe offers a road map for a new practice of anthropology that takes seriously the enchanted universe and its transformations from ancient Mesopotamia to contemporary America.
