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.
