Summary/Abstract: If empirical refutation is to remain the crucial measure of scientific validity, Lorkovlć's "deep" etnopsychology owes us too much. The analysis of "indications" and naive empiricism he offers - outlined in this reply - fails to clear the debt. Praislng Occam, the author concludes that the explanatory potentials of the extended rational choice theory (acknowledging cognitive imperfections and the concept of "embeddedness") surmount those of the theory of collective subconsciousness.
