Descripción del artículo del vendedor

This is a thin, trade sized booklet with illustrated cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The booklet is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends and corners of the booklet covers have some beginning bumping and rubbing. There is an ink stamped previous owner's name on the front cover that is actually hard to see through the illustration. The text pages are clean and bright, with the exception of an inkstamped name and address on the bottom edge of page 5. "Benedict in Patterns of Culture, expresses her belief in cultural relativism. She desired to show that each culture has its own moral imperatives that can be understood only if one studies that culture as a whole. It was wrong, she felt, to disparage the customs or values of a culture different from one's own. Those customs had a meaning to the people who lived them that should not be dismissed or trivialized. Others should not try to evaluate people by their standards alone. Morality, she argued, was relative to the values of the culture in which one operated. As she described the Kwakiutl of the Pacific Northwest (based on the fieldwork of her mentor Boas) , the Zuni Pueblo of New Mexico (among whom she had direct experience) , the nations of the Great Plains, and the Dobu culture of New Guinea (regarding whom she relied upon Mead and Reo Fortune's fieldwork) , she gave evidence that their values, even where they may seem strange, are intelligible in terms of their own coherent cultural systems and should be understood and respected. That also formed a central argument in her later work on the Japanese following World War II." (from Wikipedia); Public Affairs Pamphlet No 85; B&W Illustrations; 28p. pages; Pictured 9/10/26. …
