Description

Individuals often view "culture" as activities beyond their interests, associating the concept with exclusivity or high art.

To be cultured is often synonymous with engaging in physical expressions of art, like opera, a classical music concert, a museum exhibit or a theater performance.

While culture does indeed extend to all these things, it is the internal processes of memory, language, imagination and thought that frequently have more significance than any real-world activity.

Culture is day-to-day life, ideas, identity and perception. This book investigates the ways in which thought and belief have inspired collective human endeavors and traditions.

The text brings the act of thinking into clear focus, outlining its effect on civic development while exploring the history of cultural epistemology.

Spanning across time periods and geographic regions, chapters derive new and unique meaning from the connection between thought, belief, tradition and the cultures they create.

It explores how active thinking leads to group identity and documents the multigenerational ideas and attitudes that have strengthened cultural memory.
