Paradigmatic Traditions in the History of Anthropology
In 1904 Franz Boas defined the domain of anthropological knowledge as ‘the biological history of mankind in all its varieties; linguistics applied to people without written languages; the ethnology of people without historic records; and prehistoric archeology’. More than any other ‘anthropologist’, Boas (1858–1942) may be said to exemplify the putative unity of this domain, since (virtually alone among his confrères) he made significant contribu…

In this autobiography, he turns his attention to a subject clos…

anthropology. Such a framework can and must tolerate anything except the existence of that rival mode of universalism, which for many centuries asserted the validity of such non-relativist principles as objective knowledge, ‘natural’ social laws, and the psychic unity of mankind. The Victorians, as prominent practitioners of the rival mode, must necessarily fall foul of late-twentieth century cultural criticism. This explains why, despite all Sto…

As editor of several publications, including the highly acclaimed History of Anthropology series, he has led the movement to establish the history of anthropology as a recognized research specialization.

Franz Boas and the Culture Concept in Historical Perspective1
It has been argued that Franz Boas contributed little to the emergence of the culture concept in anthropology and in fact hindered its growth. In the context of an earlier re-evaluation of the role of E. B. Tylor, it is argued here that in the work of Boas the concept was in fact provided with much of the basis of its modern anthropological meaning. In developing his argument against racial mental differences, Boas proceeded by showing that the b…

Lamarckianism in American Social Science
This article examines the influence of Lamarckian thought on American social science between 1890 and 1915. Stocking argues that Lamarckism, with its emphasis on the inheritance of acquired characteristics, provided a seemingly scientific basis for understanding social evolution and reform. He explores how this theory was adopted and adapted by prominent figures in sociology, anthropology, and psychology, including Lester Frank Ward, Herbert Spen…

French Anthropology in 1800
This article examines the state of French anthropology around 1800, a period often overlooked as a mere transition between Buffon and Cuvier. Stocking argues against this view, demonstrating the vibrancy of anthropological thought during this era. He focuses on the Société des Observateurs de l'Homme (1799-1805), a group dedicated to anthropological research, particularly the study of "primitive" peoples. The society's work, though short-lived, r…

Romantic Motives
Motives explores a topic that has been underemphasized in the historiography of anthropology. Tracking the Romantic strains in the the writings of Rousseau, Herder, Cushing, Sapir, Benedict, Redfield, Mead, Levi-Strauss, and others, these essays show Romanticism as a permanent and recurrent tendency within the anthropological tradition

On the limits of 'presentism' and 'historicism' in the historiography of the behavioral sciences
This article examines the tension between "presentism" and "historicism" in the historiography of the behavioral sciences. Stocking argues that a purely presentist approach, which judges past figures solely by present-day standards, fails to adequately understand the historical context in which their ideas emerged. Conversely, an overly historicist approach, which avoids any evaluation of past ideas, risks rendering history irrelevant to present …
