Anthropologia symbolica

Anthropologia symbolica, vel latius anthropologia symbolica et interpretiva, est studium symbolorum culturalium  et quomodo illa symbola ad quandam societatem melius intellegendam adhiberi possunt. Saepe videtur contra materialismum culturalem. Ait Clifford Geertz, "credens, cum Maximo Weber, hominem esse animal in telis significationis quas texuit ipse suspensum, culturam habeo esse illas telas, eiusque enodationem ergo esse non scientiam experimentalem legem petentem, sed scientiam interpretivam significationem petentem."Anglice "believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun, I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning."Geertz 1973:5. Inter anthropologos symbolicos clarissimos sunt Clifford Geertz, David M. Schneider, Victor Turner, et Mary Douglas.
