Beller, Bender, and Medin (this issue) offer a provocative proposal outlining several reasons why anthropology and the rest of cognitive science might consider parting ways. Among those reasons, they suggest that separation might maintain the diversity needed to address larger problems facing humanity, and that the research strategies used across the disciplines are already so diverse as to be incommensurate. The present paper challenges the view that research strategies are incommensurate and offers a multimethod approach to cultural research that can help to establish common ground while maintaining diversity.
贝乐、本德和梅丁（本期）提出了一个发人深省的建议，概述了人类学和认知科学的其他领域可能分道扬镳的几个原因。他们认为，这种分离可能有助于保持多样性，以解决人类面临的更大问题，而且跨学科使用的研究策略已经如此多样化，以至于无法协调。本文挑战了研究策略不可通约的观点，并提出了一种多方法的文化研究方法，可以在保持多样性的同时建立共同点。
