Promoting a new, broadly interdisciplinary horizon for future studies in early Greek philosophy, Dirk L. Couprie, Robert Hahn, and Gerard Naddaf establish the cultural context in which Anaximander's thought developed and in which the origins of Greek philosophy unfolded in its earliest stages. In order to better understand Anaximander's achievement, the authors call our attention to the historical, social, political, technological, cosmological, astronomical, and observational contexts of his thought.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why are some things valuable while others are not? How much effort does it take to produce valuable objects? How can one explain the different appraisal of certain things in different temporal horizons and in different cultures? Cultural processes on how value is attached to things, and how value is re-established, are still little understood. The case studies in this volume, originating from anthropology and archaeology, provide innovative and differentiated answers to these questions. However, for all contributions there are some common basic assumptions. One of these concerns the understanding that it is rarely the value of the material itself that matters for high valuation, but rather the appreciation of the (assumed or constructed) origin of certain objects or their connection with certain social structures. A second of these shared insights addresses the ubiquity of phenomena of 'value in things'. There is no society without valued objects. As a rule, valuation is something negotiated or even disputed. Value arises through social action, whereby it is always necessary to ask anew which actors are interested in the value of certain objects (or in their appreciation). This also works the other way round: Who are those actors who question corresponding objective values and why? AUTHORS: Hans P. Hahn is Professor for Anthropology with regional focus on Africa at Goethe University Frankfurt. He spent many years in West Africa (Togo, Ghana, Burkina Faso) doing ethnographic fieldwork on a wide range of themes of rural economies. His research interests are oriented towards material culture, consumption, migration and mobility in non-western societies. He participated in the organization of several exhibitions on human action and materiality. Other ongoing research initiatives are linked with polysemic approaches to material culture studies. Anja Kloeckner is Professor of Classical Archaeology and Head of the Collection of Classical Antiquities at Goethe University Frankfurt. Her research interests are visual media in Greek and Roman culture, funerary culture in Roman Imperial times and archaeology of religion. Her recent publications include an edited volume on Treveran Grave Monument. Dirk Wicke is Professor of Near Eastern Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeological Sciences at Goethe University Frankfurt. He directed fieldwork in Northern Mesopotamia with a special focus on the periods of the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. His interests focus on the archaeology of ancient Assyria in general and on ancient minor arts. Considers new theoretical and methodological approaches on the subject of how objects are valued and the relationship between material value and social and cultural factors.
