Abstract

The subject matter of folkloristic studies , their methods and boundaries in relation to other disciplines are being increasingly Questioned nowadays. Growing numbers of folklore students are returning to the fundamental axioms and concepts of folkloristics to re-examine them. In our opinion , such discussions belong to philosophy rather than to folkloristic studies: they go beyond folkloristics and, in fact , do not belong to science in the proper sense. The axioms and postulates of a given scientific discipline cannot be proved by using the methods of that same discipline. On the other hand, the mere linking of the concepts of philosophy and folklore will seem dangerous to many people.
