Various articles by the author which have appeared over the past 12 years and 4 original papers are edited and brought together here in 14 chapters, directed toward establishing a science of culture, or culturology. Part I points out a qualitative distinction among physical, biological, and cultural levels, the latter based on man's peculiar ability to symbolize. Part II clarifies the difference between biological and culturological studies of human behavior and argues against subjecting cultural phenomena solely to psychological interpretation. Several essays on the role of the great man in human affairs support the argument. Part III describes the fundamental factor of energy in developing culturological laws, while the final part advances some general comments on "The Science of Culture."
