ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ETHNOLOGIE - Journal of Social and Cultural Anthropology

Zeitschrift Fur Ethnologie - Journal Of Social And Cultural Anthropology is a long-standing journal that primarily publishes articles of theoretical methodological nature, emphasizing the importance of empirical knowledge. The authors showcase their research methods and theoretical perspectives in the field of regional ethnology, and promote further discussions on theoretical methodology through their achievements.In terms of the theoretical methodology of empiricism, empiricists believe that knowledge originates from sensory experience, while the opposing theory advocates for "innate ideas". Empiricism advocates induction in cognitive methods, while rationalism emphasizes deductive methods. The application of empiricism in social sciences, especially in the logical empiricism school, emphasizes that philosophy itself should be fully a scientific philosophy, committed to rational reconstruction of scientific theories through strict distinction between analysis and synthesis, observation and theory, using physics as the unified language.
