Methodical culturalism is a philosophical approach developed byPeter Janich and his pupils. Its core statement is thatscience is not developed from purely theoretical considerations, but as a development of everyday,proto-scientific human behavior—in other words, that science is a stylized form of everyday knowledge-forming practice.
Thus, from the viewpoint of methodical culturalism, science is understood as a continuation of the practical processes of the everyday world and must be analyzed from this aspect systematically and methodically.
Methodical culturalism is a development of themethodical constructivism of theErlangen School of constructivism.
