Some Types of Philosophical and Cultural Anthropology

Heda Festini ; Rijeka, Croatia

Abstract

The aim is to offer a fundamental outline of a human being, which could be the backbone of the conception of open culture.
By analyzing the focal points of philosophical and cultural anthropology:
A) philosophical anthropology (Aristotle, Thucydides, etc.):
a) passivist conception,
b) activist conception;
B) cultural anthropology (18th century, Sapir, Malinowski, etc.):
a) closed culture,
b) open culture;
we must ensure the conception of an open vs. the closed (paternalistic) culture. In multicultural associations, it would seem that the latter often hinders progress, so it is necessary to find parameters open cultures can use for early recognition of the negative attributes of patriarchal culture.
