Anthropologist Michael Jackson's Worlds Within and Worlds Without explores how human beings navigate the space between their own and other worlds, recognizing them as potential sources of wellbeing and threats to existence. He argues that the relationship between the familiar and foreign is an existential and methodological issue for anthropologists, addressing the complementarity of individual and collective perspectives.

Anthropologist Michael Jackson's intellectual autobiography, Worlds Within and Worlds Without, explores the intricate relationship between works and lives, emphasizing the ways in which human beings navigate the space between their own and perceived external worlds. Through a skillful blend of personal and ethnographic narratives, Jackson delves into the imaginative and practical strategies employed by individuals to traverse the boundaries between these worlds. Whether these "other" worlds are associated with divinities, the afterlife, different realms of existence, the Internet, nation-states, or any other concept, they evoke a mixture of curiosity, potential benefits, and existential threats. Recognizing the inherent interconnectedness of human beings, Jackson emphasizes the importance of maintaining connections with others, as our humanity relies on the bonds that unite us. He further argues that the relationship between the familiar and the foreign is not merely an existential concern but also a methodological issue for anthropologists interested in exploring the complementarity of individual and collective perspectives, namely ethnos and anthropos, as well as the interplay between intrapsychic and intersubjective experiences. By examining these dynamics, Jackson sheds light on the complexities of human existence and the diverse ways in which individuals navigate the world around them.
