Types of Cultures and Human Mentality
// Philosophy and Culture.
2009. ¹ 9.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56946

Review: the article considers the questions on how various types of culture correlate with peculiarities of human mentality. The author formed a hypothesis about sinistrocerebral (discursive) and dextrocerebral (intuitive) cultures. By analyzing corresponding texts, the author illustrated some features of such cultures. It is shown that, even though such separation is quite relative, it allows to underline some interesting aspects of cognitive strategies and cognitive styles. The author also viewed the problem of relation between intellect and culture
