ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about the kinds that are a result of cultural reproduction. It is not just kinds of people, like kinds of gender, that can emerge from cultural reproduction, but also other forms of culture such as certain religions, political ideologies, musical genres and other ways of life. The chapter argues that a historical kind framework also helps establish the right principles for what questions to ask about these cultural kinds. It then explores the question of multiple realization and argues that there is a very plausible case for multiple realization of such cultural kinds. Many kinds that are culturally reproduced can be expressed by a variety of mediums: in artefacts, skills, gestures, music, texts- both offline and online, and in linguistic utterances. This variety is only successfully investigated by also using a variety of different scientific methodologies represented by archaeology, anthropology, literary and linguistic studies, religious studies, musicology and political science.
