Our age is characterized by global access to information, places
and cultures: we can gain more and more knowledge about 'the
others': other people and their cultures by 'indirect knowledge' -
learning about them via the global information net assisted by
electronic and other high-tech communication channels, as well as
by 'direct knowledge': personally visiting various parts of the
world and meeting local people in their own natural and social
environments.East and West, two major worlds of aspirations,
cultures, world-views, theoretical and practical approaches to life
and death, have come closer by personal experiences of both
Westerners and Easterners. But do we really understand the
similarities and differences between the
cultural-cognitive-behavioural-emotional patterns of the East and
the West, with special regard to their neurobiological
underpinnings in the human brain?The contents of this book focus on
cultural patterns and cognitive patterns in the East and West, with
special regard to those patterns which are determined by our
natural-genetic endownments in contrast to those patterns which are
influenced by our cultural ('East-West') influences, and within
this context a unique flavour is given to the 'good life' aspects
of adapting to this global community.Published in collaboration
with Institute Para Limes.
