The above issue indicates that the Azande people are engaged in a completely different linguistic game: "The findings of this people regarding witchcraft do not constitute a theoretical system based on which the Azande people strive to achieve a quasi-scientific understanding of the world.
This point is the basis for the possible interpretive presentation of the term "rational," which we can say is extremely important in our tradition: we understand something rationally when we can express it clearly, meaning we can distinguish and arrange the different characteristics of the issue with a clear and understandable order.
There may exist a type of clear and understandable expression that fundamentally cannot be [an] expression that is theoretical—for example, because in this case, the condition of detachment and non-commitment is essentially meaningless—even though achieving it forms the basis of being rational.
For example, proposing the view that ritual actions in a certain primitive society should be considered purely symbolic, meaning as actions exclusively directed toward harmony with the world rather than gaining practical mastery over it, would not be useful at all; or stating that the body of religious beliefs merely indicates certain attitudes toward the dangers and events of life, and has no connection to describing and explaining the nature of things and affairs.
One possible solution is to propose the argument that although the actions in question are incommensurable; and consequently, each will necessarily attain the first rank based on its own criteria; and this means that judging the relative superiority [of cultures] in a non-ethnocentric way is impossible.
