Cultural Relativism and Biological Determinism: A Problem in Historical Explanation

Nadine Weidman

This essay seeks to explain how Ashley Montagu, the American anthropologist, could have been both a cultural relativist and a biological determinist, two stances that seem to be opposites. The essay argues that the seeming contradiction can be resolved by placing Montagu in his historical contexts and by understanding what he meant by “biological determinism.”

文化相对主义与生物决定论:历史解释中的一个问题

这篇文章试图解释美国人类学家阿什利·蒙塔古 (Ashley Montagu) 如何既是文化相对论者又是生物决定论者,这两种立场似乎是对立的。这篇文章认为,表面上的矛盾可以通过将蒙塔古置于他的历史背景中并理解他所说的“生物决定论”来解决。
