Given anthropology’s disciplinary commitment to diversity and openness, studying cultural formations that are based on exclusion and discrimination can pose epistemologicalchallenges. Such issues are at the heart of longstanding disciplinary debates about cultural and moral relativism, incommensurability, and multiple forms of rationality. Thisessay explores how these issues have emerged during long-term ethnographic research on aging in Poland and the US, and suggests that beginning from a place of radical differencemight offer possibilities for a more inclusive anthropology
