Interpretive Anthropology

I just finishing reading an article by Clifford Geerz and I really like the closing sentence so here it is:

"The essential vocation of interpretive anthropology is not to answer our deepest question, but to make available to us answers that others, guarding other sheep in other valleys, have given and thus include them in the consultable record of what man has said" (Geertz, 1973).
