Abstract
The answers to many complicated problems usually lie in simple and basic facts, so is the same with the problems of culture. We believe that the problem of culture is the problem of man: We shall search in the facts of “being human” for the nature of culture. In short, culture is a process of humanization, both the humanization of the world and the man itself (civilization).
