A Schema for Unifying Human Science: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Culture

Front Cover
Susquehanna University Press, 2003 - 389 pages
This book develops a schema, consisting of a hierarchically organized list of the phenomena of interest to human scientists, and the causal links (influences) which exist among these. This organizing device, and particularly the unpacking of culture into its constituent phenomena, allows the true complexity of culture to be captured. Unpacking also allows us to sail between the twin dangers of culture bigotry and cultural relativism.
