Relativism and the Ontological Turn within Anthropology
Original language description
The ?ontological turn? is a recent movement within cultural anthropology. Its proponents want to move beyond a representationalist framework, where cultures are treated as systems of belief (concepts, etc.) that provide different perspectives on a singleworld. Authors who write in this vein move from talk of many cultures to many ?worlds,? thus appearing to affirm a form of relativism. We argue that, unlike earlier forms of relativism, the ontological turn in anthropology is not only immune to the arguments of Donald Davidson?s ?The Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme,? but it affirms and develops the antirepresentationalist position of Davidson?s subsequent essays.
