Abstract

In this paper I propose to explore the possibility of practicing an anthropology that –in the most radical way as possible-does not discredit our participants’ practices and thoughts. I present ethnographic and theoretical issues from my research on religion and politics, in order to discuss the possibility of doing anthropology from a fundamental unknown, in the philosophical sense of the term. In other words, to do anthropology starting from a kind of transcendental not knowing that, far from paralyzing the research, may, on the contrary, act as its dynamic impulse.
