Sažetak
The aspiration of realistic description of culture appears to be a common place of continuous inclination of Croatian ethnology towards so-called historical approaches, only in form of different, even opposed conceptions -- mostly within the understanding of "history" as diachronic narration on the one hand and with its understanding as phenomenological context on the other -- although both tendencies eventually reconcile with the necessary intervention of the scientific text towards the reality of culture. This paper questions the idea of the late nineteenth-century ethnology (the idea that is usually considered to be the initiative of its founding)as a far-reaching epistemological anticipation of the current state of the discipline, which owns its strength to the conceptual questioning, but also the originality and bravery of the scientific figure of Antun Radic.
