Kluckhohn's description of nineteenth century anthropology which was frenzied hobbies collecting facts of the bizarre, strange rights, body sizes, kinship, strange magic beliefs. In the neighboring sentence Kluckhohn calls anthropology 'the science of leftovers' (mirror 13)

is defined against prediction-based sciences.

In traditional science, prediction is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. All that work to carve out of predicting the latter from the former. The holy grail of the Newtonian tradition, the dream of Laplace-tell me the measurements of all the independent variables and I'll tell you how the universe will run forever.' (Agar 2004: 5)

Tim Ingold called 'philosophy with the people in' (Ingold: 1992: 696)

anthropology is an archive of lived actualities (Appadurai1996: 11)

is a kind of copernican turn in philosophy.

If philosophy's viewpoint gets changed in the manner in which out of the Ptolemaic system the Copernican system developed, what new fruitful developments must not occur here, if our whole philosophy becomes anthropology.' (Herder, How Philosophy CanBecome More Universal and Useful for the Benefit of the People [1765].1)

is tasked to take the ordinary and make it visible.

WHAT is the anthropologist job' 'to take the ordinary and make it visible' (Rabinow in class).

is the lone social science capable to aspire to generality.

From this latter point of view, anthropology can do nothing useful without collaborating closely with the particular social sciences... but these, for their part, would not know how to aspire to generality were it not for the cooperation of anthropology, which alone is capable of bringing them the accounts and the inventories which it seeks to render complete. ((levi-strauss 1966c:114)
