anthropology’s dual nature as both a scientific and a humanistic discipline.
Through the stress on the participation and getting the insider’s view,
anthropologists (61) necessity become personally involved
with their subjects. They show a humanistic concern (62) the
people they study, and (63) their attempts to understand and
describe people’s behavior they help give outsiders a rich appreciation for
other people and others’ ways. (64) , with its stress on
observation, anthropologists strive to fulfill the requirements of a scientific
discipline. Anthropologists strive for objectivity and accuracy. They often
(65) count, for example, the number of times specific behavior
patterns occur under certain circumstances; they use this data for empirical
studies (66) integrate their observations into general laws
of human behavior. Understanding anthropology requires
understanding its dual nature. Perhaps the following two inelegant (67)
useful terms borrowed from linguistics will help. Emit refers to the
array of categories (and their systematic relationships) through which the
bearers of a particular culture perceive the world. Epic (68)
the array of categories (and their systematic relationships) used by
the Western (69) scientists to explain the world.
(70) , the emit view is the insiders’ view. Pierre’s emit view
of his death, (71) ,is that he died from the power of the
sorcerer (魔术师); anthropologist’s epic view is that he died from physiological
effects of fear, (72) by his belief in the sorcerer. Both
views are (73) for the proper circumstances, but
anthropologists requires that they (74) clearly distinguished
from each other because they derive from different methodologies, consist of
different kinds of data, (75) lead to different types of
knowledge. Together they facilitate a complete understanding of a culture.
Anthropology’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it encompasses them both.
