Drawing from social anthropology, history, philosophy of science, computer science, classics, and sinology, among other fields, these scholars argue that the use of dismissive labels such as 'magic,' 'superstition,' and 'irrational' only perpetuates the problem and rejects the notion that radically alien beliefs are strictly incomprehensible to outsiders and can only be understood from within the system in question. At the same time, they recognize that navigating the complexities of understanding the data at hand poses a formidable challenge. The key problems identified in the inaugural workshop, whose proceedings were published in HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory (2019) and HAU Books (2020), served as the foundation for exploring how obvious pitfalls can be avoided and proposing a new or revised framework for addressing these problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032150727\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179442462970,"sku":"9781032150727","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_362090a8-73bf-42e5-99b6-bfce0df15107.jpg?v=1707753742","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/science-in-the-forest-science-in-the-past-further-interdisciplinary-explorations-9781032150727","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
