The Culture Cultis An Acerbic Critique Of That Longing Widespread In Society Today To ?Retreat From Civilization.? From Rousseau And The Noble Savage To Modern Defenders Of Ethnicity Such As Isaiah Berlin And Karl Polanyi, A Prominent Intellectual Tradition Has Overromanticized The Virtues Of Tribal Life. In Contrast, Another Tradition, Represented By Karl Popper, Michael Polanyi, And Ernest Gellner, Defends Modern Values And Civil Society. The Culture Cult Discusses Both Sides Of This Divide Between 'Culture' And 'Civilization,' And Between 'Closed' And 'Open' Societies. The Romantic Insistence On The Superiority Of The Primitive Is Increasingly Grounded In A Fictionalized Picture Of The Pasta Picture Often Created With The Aid Of Wellmeaning But Misguided Anthropologists. Such Idealizations Work To The Detriment Of The Very People They Are Meant To Help, For They Isolate Minorities From Such Undeniable Benefits Of Modern Society As Literacy And Health Care, And Discourage Them From Participating In Modern Life. Few Will Find Comfort In The Culture Cult, But Many Will Recognize A Valuable Criticism Of Currently Popular Social Politics.
