Beyond Culture
“In this penetrating analysis of the culturally determined yet ‘unconscious’ attitudes that mold our thought, feeling, communication and behavior…Hall makes explicit taken-for-granted linguistic patterns, body rhythms, personality dynamics, educational goals…Many of Hall’s ideas are original and incisive…[and] should reward careful readers with new ways of thinking about themselves and others.” – Publishers Weekly

For too long, people have taken their own ways of life for granted, ignoring the vast, international cultural community that surrounds them. Humankind must now embark on the difficult journey beyond culture, to the discovery of a lost self and a sense of perspective.
