The collections of essays is a series of related meditations upon what might be involved in disentangling the intellectual presupposition of the social sciences frtom the logic of the emerging acsendancy of the modern nation-state that framed their growth. While drawing widely from the contemporary philosopy and social theory, Raul Pertierra's investigation of the Filipinos' present intellectual predicaments rests upon a possibly surprising realization: That anthropolgy, the social science discipline which seemingly faced the greatest peril from the advances of global culture, may provide the richest and most secure foundation for understanding and coping practically with its challenge.
