Blue-and-white Chinese Porcelain: A Study of FormWhen an anthropologist writes a monograph on blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, some explanation may be appreciated. This is not because anyone does not know that the primary justification of all research is simply a sustained intellectual curiosity. It is rather because one does not take for granted the experiental background of a colleague in another field. To an anthropologist, the expert on porcelain can neither give the confidence which helps to evaluate how work is done nor assume that common knowledge which immeasurably improves communication.-pg. v. |
