Friedmann to Speak On Culture Groups
The first Humanities lecturer of the 1962-63 season divided cultures into three groups yesterday when he spoke on "A Philosopher's Approach to the Comparison of Cultures."
F. G. Friedmann, professor of the history of American culture and director of the American Institute at the University of Munich, Germany, discussed "primitive, advanced, and utilitarian" cultures.
He talked at a meeting sponsored by the Philosophy Club, Western Civilization department and Student Union Activities.
Prof. Friedmann will give the Humanities lecture at 8 p.m. today in Fraser Theater. His topic is "The Concept of Alienation in the Comparison of Cultures."
"I try to think of culture as the sum total of human attempts, conscious or subconscious, to find meaning in life," he said.
He then presented three "ideal attempts," adding that there can be a good deal of overlapping and fusion.
"The motivating force in primitive civilizations is the satisfaction of basic, down-to-earth needs. They are societies of little traditions."
"Advanced civilizations have great traditions motivated toward building a culture which goes beyond the satisfaction of basic needs. They are characterized by appreciation of higher ideals. Actions are attracted by the goal of doing good."
"In a utilitarian culture, interests of individuals and groups direct the activities of the people. They are not concerned merely with basic needs, but there is no single overall cultural idea.
"Utilitarian is also distinguished by a type of mental activity—an attempt on the part of the human mind to gather meaning by consolidating interests in the mind. There is no innate direction."
"Civilizations and cultures mediate between the circumstances of life. To make little things meaningful, we must relate them to something which transcends them."
