Clifford Geertz, American Scientist (1926-2006)
Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world.
Jane Howard, American Journalist

Studying anthropology, I developed a kind of holistic view of human existence, in which the dichotomies you listed are all necessary and vital aspects of life.
