Definitions. Lack of Uncertainties and
Petit Knowledge.
In this article, first I discuss in an eplstemologlcal perspective, the difference between Social Anthropology (SA) and other Social and Historical Disciplines. Next, I explore the current "crisis" In SA. I conclude that there's no evidence to support this dlfference and it is suggested that "crisis" is the "normal" condition of SA since the mid-1960s. This crisis expresses itself in SA's research through issues such as the definition of the object/subject, and its methodological and interpretive approaches.
