不可知論者は現地人にも存在する

18■不可知論者は現地人にも存在する

"Yet, scepticism and an ironical recognition of the ambiguities of human experience and knowledge are undoubtedly found among them. I have met many individuals whose apparent agnosticism about matters to which, never- theless, they give a certain assent, would surprise those who regard intelligent doubt as a recent European accomplishment. Some primitive peoples may question, upon reflection, the religion which they still practise, remarking on the unlikelihood, even the silliness, of some of the mythical situations upon which it is yet founded. Many improbable happenings, about which they have been told in the traditional lore of their society, clearly seem strange to them as they do to us; but, unlike us, they do not dismiss such happenings as impossible, merely because they seem unlikely. "( Lienhardt 1956:103)
