Today’s humanistic discourse is led on two levels: critical – concerning self consciousness of a researcher, and objective – regarding the subject matters under discussion. The paper focuses on some epistemological problems connected with anthropology of culture and other humanities. The problems in question deel with possibilities of familiarizing with other cultures and other cultural contexts which following today’s humanistic thought, adopt the form of interpretation of “translation” of notion categories from the examined culture into the culture of a reasercher. Conterporary anthropology of culture (or, generally speaking, the humanities) is, to some extent, connected with a researcher‘s self considerations regarding his involvement in culture and with his own cultural background, to prevent attaching the opinions originating from the researcher’s culture to the cultures he examines. This question seems interesting and still requires a deeper thought, bearing in mind numerous examples of epistemological “mistakes” being forged in successive “sociological theories”, “philosophical trends”, “scientific revolutions”, or “research programmes”.
A general programme of critical and self-controlling methodological consciousness is formulated in the paper in the form of procedure neutralizing axiological preferences of a researcher.
