Cover of F. Allan Hanson: Meaning in Culture (ePUB)

Meaning in Culture discusses the question of whether ”culture” refers to some superorganic entity that exists in its own right, or is only convenient short-hand for the shared beliefs and behaviour of human individuals. It also investigates the problem of relativism and explores the question of whether anthropology and the other social sciences are really scientific.
First published in 1975.
