This book explores philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's influence on anthropological theory from the 1920s to today. Tracing the discipline's evolution from formal models of culture and society to celebrations of 'ordinary life', it reveals the hidden philosophical assumptions shaping modern anthropological practice.
