Description

Thomas Kasulis explores how cultural differences shape our understanding of fundamental questions such as reality and artistic creativity. After three decades of cross-cultural study, he identifies two kinds of orientation: intimacy and integrity.

Cultural difference extends beyond nations, influencing how we think about relations among people and things. Kasulis argues that rather than trying to transcend these differences, we should develop a deeper awareness of their roots by moving beyond cultural relativism towards a more nuanced understanding of cultural bi-orientationality.

Accessible to readers from diverse perspectives, Intimacy or Integrity offers insights into the synergy between thought and culture. By analyzing this relationship, Kasulis helps us better understand cultural difference and develop strategies for engaging with orientations that differ from our own.
