Bronisław Malinowski

Bronisław Malinowski was a pioneering anthropologist known for his immersive fieldwork and contributions to cultural relativism. He argued that cultures should be understood based on their own values and context, rather than judged by the standards of another culture. His key idea was that each culture has its own logic and practices that fulfill the needs of its people. Malinowski's work emphasized the importance of studying cultures from within, which helped shape modern anthropology and fostered a greater appreciation for cultural diversity.
