To his own point of view, it is helpful to get an overview. The farther you rise above the things the sooner you're able to put themselves in relationship to their own environment. The internal perception but goes even seen by no more from the networked relationships determine our life situation.
as a person you have become part of an interlinked world. Events at the other end of the globe can have a profound impact on our daily lives. The perspective that we impose our global world is the room so the driver looks down the aliens of our fragile blue ball. viewed only from the outside, our minds to even begin to understand yet where in the vastness of time and space he is.
To this point the alien must take to escape the influences of the surrounding area as far as possible. A impartiality as they perhaps once had as a child for this condition is to see things clearly. Fortunately, there is a school of thought that allows us to take this position: the science.
I am talking about science as ideal as it exists since Francis Bacon. Science as the opposite of fanaticism and superstition. Science as a way to write a description of our reality, of course beyond the boundaries of time, cultural background and social position.
Science is a method of obtaining knowledge, which allowed us to rise above ourselves. There is a science which is especially prone to the position of the alien Observer has gone anthropology. (Here I use the term anthropology since the term ethnology the scientifically untenable concept of ethnicity includes.) Of course you can not eliminate them entirely related disciplines, such as sociobiology and sociology.
The study of human nature compels researchers in this discipline to a strict definition of their own position. In this respect, the anthropologist deals with the human society deals first and foremost concerned with his scientific method. So we have to deal with thinking about thinking before we open our eyes and judge what we see. This is the fundamental doctrine that we draw from the works of "human scientists" can.
The choice in this blog is the perspective of cultural materialism (Cultural Materialism) by Marvin Harris, since he works all predecessors equally seriously, an advanced theory of knowledge gains in order to develop without ideological barriers. Unfortunately, this can not be said of all anthropologists and sociologists of the modern era, for example, Karl Marx benefits society as scientists were unwilling to recognize or are too tied into the thinking of the evolutionary genetics. I share the view of Marvin Harris, that the spread in Europe structuralism in anthropology in many ways wissenschaftstheorethischer Contains contradictions. Above all, the cultural materialism and for me personally very suitable tool to gain knowledge is as it is based on the scientific way of thinking.
Despite this preface I as an amateur scientific field work that would not need to strip all here (in the future) presented approaches to consider. Nevertheless, I want this blog to this view, operate in our world of my thoughts about the company explained.
