From Paideia to High Culture: A Philosophical-Anthropological Approach

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?Additional ISBNs3631811616, 3631826788, 9783631811610, 9783631826782From Paideia to High Culture: A Philosophical-Anthropological Approach 1st Edition is written by Imelda Chlodna-Blach and published by Peter Lang Gmb H, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
