City Intelligible - A Philosophical and Historical Anthropology of Global Commoditisation Before Industrialisation

Perlin conjoins philosophical and socio-cultural anthropologies to derive universal foundations of human reason in terms of which cultural difference may both logically and historically be understood. Global commodification before industrialisation offers abundant evidence for the translatability of all cultures.
