Anthropologys originals aim, that of Maine and Morgan in the second half of the nineteenth-century, was to explain social variability. Behind that variability, anthropologists searched for regularities that a theory would explain. It was thus both comparative and positivist (aiming to be scientific). The first theory to emerge was evolutionism. It was soon followed by functional structuralism, structuralism and all the other isms that came after. In the final analysis, unlike scientific theories, all these theories did not supplant one another but merely agglutinated. The original project of a comparative and positivist anthropology thus completely failed, and the new gurus explain it by the very nature of anthropologys subject, human beings in society, which they claim are not amenable to scientific discourse.In this first of two books, Professor Michel Verdon rejects this defeatist explanation. To him, the failure does not stem from anthropologys objects but from the knowing subject. The explanation lies in the process of knowing; it is epistemological, and he finds the ultimate reason in the cosmology that underlies all theories, and that no one has hitherto explored. This enables him completely to upturn the traditional wisdom: it is this implicit cosmology that radically hinders any conceptual rigour in the study of social organization since it defines groups in a way that makes them ontologically variable. In the light of this unique diagnosis he can define a new language, which he labels operational, that yields rigourous comparisons leading to refutable and rectifiable theories. In a second book that will soon follow, he applies this language to a number of ethnographies and draws from them astonishing conclusions about societies traditionally studied by anthropology.
