Description

One of the classic works of the American school of cultural anthropology is devoted to the study of the Japanese national character. The study is based on the concept of "patterns of culture," aimed at identifying the unity inherent in each culture. As the central element of the Japanese character and Japanese culture, the author singles out the hierarchical principle, the concept of "one's proper place," which unfolds as a complex system of duty: duty to the emperor, to one's parents, to one's lord, and to one's own name. A special place in the work is occupied by the study of the process of upbringing in Japanese society, which determines the main aspects of the psychological characteristics of the Japanese. The book is addressed to culturologists, psychologists, specialists in the field of ethnic studies, and to the wide circle of readers interested in the problems of the study of culture.
