Anthropological theories, especially structuralism and functionalism, spring from the strain of Kant's subjective idealism, which distances them from a truly scientific explanation of culture; but it brings them closer to a phenomenological theory of culture. This essay reflects on this epistemological problem from Hegel's critique of Kant's epistemology, which Hegel describes as ordinary consciousness. From this point of view, structuralism and functionalism would not explain the phenomenon of culture, but by recreating it phenomenologically, they would represent a wild thought of anthropology.
