See, for example, Fox, Robin, Encounters with Anthropology (New York: Dell, 1975)Google Scholar and Harris, Marvin, Cannibals and Kings (New York: Random House, 1977)Google Scholar. In two papers that I read to the International Medieval Congress in 1984 and 1987, I attempted to apply the work of Fox and Harris to a Natural Law theory in hope of developing a contemporary basis for a Natural Law approach to ethics. One of the reasons I found Rorty and Wilson's work so convincing was their emphasis on culture.
