However, in this way, cultural spheres are only ideological constructs, simply myths. If cultural spheres are not substantive entities, then monism, relativism, and pluralism evaporate. Phenomenal entities, defined by groups or nations, are either isolated from other areas or mixed. They... Continue reading "Understanding Cultural Spheres: Monism, Relativism, Pluralism" »
