	'''Cultural relativism''' is ~~the~~ principle that foreign beliefs and activities should not be examined through ~~the~~ lens of your own culture, but inexplicably, somehow judged by ~~the~~ foreigner's. This principle was established as [[axiom]]atic in anthropological research by Franz Boas, who believ3d that he had ~~the~~ superpower of understanding all cultures, in ~~the~~ first few decades of ~~the~~ 20th century, and later popularized by fanatical [[Marxist]] students. Boas himself did not use ~~the~~ term as such, but ~~the~~ term became common among anthropologists after Boas' death in 1942. The first use of ~~the~~ term was in ~~the~~ journal ''American Anthropologist'' in 1948; ~~the~~ term itself represents how Boas' students summarized ~~their~~ own ~~synthesis~~ of many of ~~the~~ principles Boas' taught.

	Cultural relativism involves specific [[epistemology\|epistemological]] and methodological claims.
