George Stocking tells us that some members of Victorian middle class society felt the society was highly evolved but also contained savage components. Why didn’t they change? I propose a solution based on historical knowledge.

In the 1920s, the London School of Economics became the centre for social anthropology in England. I.C. Jarvie tells a murderous tale of how this happened. I analyse the tale and the analysis leads to an objection to the claim “If you are of this grade level in England and going to university, you should be at one of the two elite universities.”.

The problem of how an anthropologist can achieve knowledge at home, given no gulf in assumptions, seems as if it admits of a meaning holist solution. What appear to be the same assumptions are actually different. But actually such a solution faces a problem.

This paper introduces a nationalist solution to a paradox felt by some members of Victorian middle class society: it was highly evolved but also contained savage components. Why?

Joseph Raz was at the University of Oxford for many decades, but what was his experience there? This paper draws attention to a suggestive passage from Raz’s “Rights and Politics.”.
