About the Book

First published in 2003. This final volume in the VIII-volume set titled The Early Sociology of Culture, deals with human culture, and confines itself neither to contemporary life nor to Western European civilization. The author argues that, if the volume demonstrates an inadequacy of the methods used in interpreting culture and progress, the study is justified. The chapters are separated into three parts: Culture and Culture Change; Theories of Progress and The Criteria of Progress.

Table of Contents:
PART I. Culture and Culture Change, PREFACE, INTRODUCTION, CHAPTER I: CULTURE AREAS AND CULTURE TRAITS, CHAPTER II: METHODS OF INFERRING CULTURE DEVELOPMENT, CHAPTER III: MAGNITUDE OF DISTRIBUTION, CENTRIFUGAL SPREAD, AND CENTRIPEDAL ELABORATION OF CULTURE TRAITS, CHAPTER IV: THE DIFFUSION OF CULTURE TRAITS, CHAPTER V: THE ASSIMILATION OF CULTURE TRAITS, CHAPTER VI: CULTURE CHANGE AND SURVIVALS, CHAPTER VII: INDEPENDENT ORIGINS OF SIMILAR CULTURE TRAITS, CHAPTER VIII: CULTURE AND INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE, CHAPTER IX: CULTURE AND ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, CHAPTER X: CULTURE DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS, PART II.
