rather than

[dodonaomik]

Indeed, every table of alues, every ''thou shalt" known to history or ethonology,
requires first a physiological investigation and interpretation,
rather than a psychological one; and every one of
them needs a critique on the part of medical sicience.



My question:
1) How to understand the phrase ''rather than" grammatically?
2)What‘s the phrase's meaning ?



Thanks!
