anthropological beliefs

“Most ideas are contested (…) and culture may therefore be regarded as a basis for disagreement, rather than a consensus. What we call culture are underlying, taken-for-granted, rules that make disagreement possible.”


(Sapir’s culture concept according to Eriksen & Nielsen, p. 66: Eriksen, Thomas & Finn Nielsen (2001), A History of Anthropology, London & Sterling, VA: Pluto Press.)
