Anuarul societatii prahovene de antropologie generala. Yearbook of Prahova Country Society for General Anthropology - In honorem magistri Gheorghita Geana \n \n Editite bilingva: romana-engleza \n \n Ati reusit o performanta rara, aceea de a scrie intr-o revista "de stat" [Viata Romaneasca, 1, 1986] despre Traditie si libertate in spiritualitatea ortodoxa. Si ati scris intr-un chip care dezvaluie sufletul dvs. ca pe o pestera de sihastru. - Antonie Plantadeala, Mitropolitul Ardealului \n Am rasfoit acest articol / jurnalul tau ["Boabe de zabava", in Anuarul societatii prahovene de antropologie generala, 3, 2017] plin de verva si de pasaje gustoase (si despre asociatia noastra EASA [European Association of Social Anthropologists])... Intre timp, doresc sa va felicit, pe tine si pe studentii tai, pentru aceasta initiativa editoriala prahoveana, care dovedeste vitalitatea antropologiei romanesti de azi [orig. in rom.] - Filippo Zerilli, Universita di Cagliari \n I thought that in your article ["Ethnicity and globalisation. Outline of a complementarist conceptualisation", in Social Anthropology (EASA journal, vol. 5, part 2, 1997)] you were absolutely correct to warn against approaching complicated social issues with dichotomous categories (e.g. globalization / locality, or Gemeinschaft / Gesellschaft, etc., etc.). It was an important insight that I learned early on from my teacher and very good friend, Professor Edward Shils. Would that more scholars appreciated your point! - Steven Grosby, Clemson University, South Carolina \n I met Gheorghita Geana on a couple of occasions and was very impressed by him. I also read his autobiographical chapter in the Mateoc / Ruegg collection [Recalling Fieldwork, LIT Verlag, 2020]. It is a fascinating contrast to the majority of contributions to that book, which are the work of Western anthropologists. Chris Hann - Emeritus Director, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Fellow, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge Antropologia este stiinta, constainta de sine si ratiunea genului uman. In ansamblul cunoasterii, antropologia s-ar cuveni sa ocupe locul pe care obiectul sau de studiu il ocupa in cosmos. Acest loc nu este unul marginas, ci, dimpotriva, unul central. Omul nu a incetat niciodata sa-si rezerve in conceptiile despre univers pozitia de centru valoric. Asadar, fata de universul existent, conditia umana se poate defini drept antropocentrism axiologic. Iar aceasta conditie se intrainiceste pe masura ce cunoasterea omului de catre sine devine din ce in ce mai aprofundata. - Gheorghita Geana
