Abstract In this article, I address the editors’ (Sidnell and Lambek) arguments about the immanence of the ethical, in contrast to different questions concerning ‘ordinary ethics’ recently raised in anthropology. I will do so by asking what an ‘ordinary realism’ might entail for anthropology, and the way it could possibly help us to appreciate the difficulties inherent in our work of approaching the issues at stake in the reality we face, whether during fieldwork or back home. I will proceed and develop this questioning with the help of some contemporary philosophers who have sustained and enriched the debates on ethics in anthropology. I will illustrate the difficulty of ordinary realism for anthropology with an example taken from a particular moment during my field in Zanzibar where dreams and witchcraft entered the scene.

普通现实主义：人类学的难题

摘要在本文中，我与编辑（Sidnell和Lambek）讨论了伦理学的内在性，与人类学中最近提出的有关“普通伦理学”的不同问题形成了对比。我将通过问“普通现实主义”对人类学意味着什么，以及它可能如何帮助我们认识到解决实地工作中面临的现实问题的工作中固有的困难的方式，无论是在田野调查中还是在回溯中家。在一些当代哲学家的帮助下，我将继续并发展这一质疑，这些哲学家继续并丰富了人类学伦理学的争论。我将以我在桑给巴尔的田野中某个梦想和巫术进入现场的特定时刻为例，说明人类学普通现实主义的困难。
