Margaret Mead Quotes:
Ocupation: Cultural Anthropologist
Life: December 16, 1901 - November 15, 1978
Birthday: December 16
Death: November 15
For Immanuel Kant, the term anthropology embraced all the human sciences, and laid the foundation of familiar knowledge we need, to build solidly grounded ideas about the moral and political demands of human life. Margaret Mead saw mid-twentieth-century anthropology as engaged in a project no less ambitious than Kant's own, and her Terry Lectures on Continuities in Cultural Evolution provide an excellent point to enter into her reflections.
