Culture is essential to everything we do and is going to play a
very significant role in the world of the future. In spite of this,
most of us have only a hazy understanding of culture and do not
realize how it will affect individual, institutional, community,
national, and international affairs. This volume delves into the
domain of culture--both as a concept and as a reality--and proposes
a formulation of the world system of the future according to
culture's highest and most enduring principles. The author draws on
many disciplines--anthropology, sociology, philosophy, cosmology,
history, economics, and the arts--to make his case that culture and
cultures should be accorded a central position in global
development and human affairs in the future.
