Abstract

Firstof all I summarise the methodological pluralism ofP. K.Feyerabend pointing out a particular goal shift in his ideal of knowledge. Then 1follow the analysis of George Stocking to state Boas' transition between two differentconcepts of «culture» in his early papers and his lastly ones. My purpose is to interrelate both cases noting some coincidences in their passage from positivist to pluralist viewpoints.
