Synopsis
Excerpt from Los Manitos: A Study of Institutional Values
Functional anthropology has been criti cized for reifying society, for reductionism, for failing to explain change, for relativ ism, for its anti-historical bias and for theoretical vagueness. Actually the theory has not stood still long enough for all of these criticisms to be really telling. There has been widespread sensitivity to such strictures, and recent theorists have been most self-conscious in attempting to find ways around them. The professional con sensus within' anthropology on the concep tion of cultures as wholes, and the de facto historical interests of the discipline have militated against reductionism and anti historical assumptions. Collaboration be tween psychology and anthropology has made both fields aware of the problems of reductionism or reification.
