ТЕМЕЉИ КЛАСИЧНЕ СОЦИЈАЛНЕ АНТРОПОЛОГИЈЕ
The Foundations of Classical and Social Anthropology

Summary/Abstract: The author sets not at all easy task in this work to define the subject of social anthropology, a discipline that stands on the border between anthropology and sociology. For that it was necessary to turn to the historical roots of it, and discuss the directions which besides common subject stand usually in a mutual dissonance. As the broadest and at the same time central problem, there is human and his world of culture in his social context, as a problem that stands in the center of attention of every social anthropologist. That problem here is related to the methods used for its solution. At the end the author gives short view at the relationship of social anthropology and sociology, by which points to remarkable contiguity of the two sciences. He even claims that the basic theoretical root of this anthropological discipline is – sociological. In a healthy critical relationship, though, specificity of any of these sciences cannot be threatened. On the contrary, their cooperation can contribute to better enlightenment of a human as a cultural being in his social environment.
