Abstract

This is a reworking in English by Dumont himself of his Homo Aequalis II: L’Idéologie allemande, France-Allemagne et retour. It includes notes, a “Preface to the English Edition”, “Works Cited”, and an index. Dumont is an eminent, senior scholar, who works in the mode of a highlevel “anthropology.” He is known for his studies of Eastern civilizations, notably Homo hierarchicus: Essai sur le système des castes.
