The purpose of this book is to show the philosophical and
anthropological foundation of the dispute about culture, especially
in the perspective of the opposition between high and low culture.
By analysing the most important achievements of Western
philosophical reflection, from the Greeks and Romans through
medieval scholasticism to Christian personalism, the author defends
the concept of high culture and reveals its metaphysical
significance for the human condition. The book also brings out the
meaning of the concept of culture, shedding new light upon the
long-disputed philosophical questions: who is the creator and
subject of culture, what is culture in its essence, and what is its
superior purpose?
