Area of Science:

  • Anthropology
  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Anthropological research on shamanism often adopts frameworks from psychology.
  • This includes debates on consciousness, objectivity, environmental vs. innate factors, mind-body dualism, and research methodologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the influence of inherited psychological problems on anthropological studies of shamanism.
  • To identify the key dichotomies shaping the perspectives within the field.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual analysis of anthropological studies on shamanism.
  • Examination of the historical and philosophical underpinnings of psychological concepts applied to shamanism.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Anthropological studies of shamanism have incorporated dichotomies such as conscious vs. unconscious mental states, objective vs. subjective experience, and mechanism vs. vitalism.
  • These inherited perspectives, while not halting knowledge acquisition, have contributed to a lack of definitive resolution.

    • Conclusions:

    • The resolution of persistent problems in shamanism studies is impeded by the adoption of psychological frameworks.
    • Further empirical data is required to overcome these theoretical limitations and advance the field.
