摘要
Concepts of guilt and conflict resolution differ in part because of different cultural conceptions about the ontological status of events. Within Sherpa culture there are several different systems at work, some of which view events of the world as objective facts and some of which define them as illusory ephemera. The article gives examples of these, and examines what happens when they come into conflict.
