“All the chapters show, in their own way, that philosophical anthropology offers a very sophisticated approach to understand how humans live… The dialogue between anthropology and philosophy that underlies this volume has clearly enriched the understanding of ethical drives in human life.” • History of the Human Sciences “Overall the text offers an insightful interdisciplinary discussion on the topics of morality and ethics, albeit a conflicted title and theme as is made evident by many of the authors’ concerns with the idea and term ‘moral engines’ throughout the volume. A fascinating read for those interested in the in the field regardless of what side of the fence one sits.” • Irish Journal of Anthropology “This is an excellent collection of essays that contributes to the growing anthropological literature on morality and ethics. It addresses the current debates in a new and useful way.” • Johan Rasanayagam, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen “This stimulating volume suggests a new metaphor to reshape this central question to moral theory within an anthropological perspective.” • Samuel Leze, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon
