Abstract

This review essay assesses Michael Jackson’s ongoing project of staging an encounter between anthropology and philosophy in two books: <italic>Lifeworlds</italic> (2013) and <italic>As Wide as the World Is Wise</italic> (2016). Considering his philosophical enrichment of ethnographic theory and method, this essay addresses foundational questions about the prospects and practices of interdisciplinary engagement. It also suggests future avenues for continued dialogue between philosophy and anthropology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
