Teaching and research in the anthropology of law have declined in Germany since the early thirties. This book attemps to revitalize the discussion and to offer relevant material.
The theory of the various - yet comparable - modes of thought is presented for the most important ways of thinking (animism in a wide and narrow sense, East and South Asian modes of thought, the Tragic Mind and its Judaeo-Christian continuations, Islam and modern totalitarian modes of thought). The comparision is accomplished by using six "text concepts".
In addition to the main themes the author includes an evaluation of the axial age and "heroic societies", a theory of the moral person, the displacement of culture as the only central concept of anthropology, "culture chemistry", i.e. the construction of new modes of thought, including the predictability of sects, and a redefinition of development aid and modernization goals in a multicultural world.
