Abstract
In order to lay the ground for the construction of a philosophy of culture the origin, meaning and some of the implications of the word „culture” are examined and discussed in light of a working definition of the anthropological concept of culture taken from C. Dawson. In Section II another concept of culture is examined, based on the idea of culture as human perfection. Then in Section III the concept of cultural levels is introduced, that is, the differing levels at which the central concept of a culture can be understood or embodied.

In order to contribute to the ultimate formulation of an adequate philosophy of culture, my purpose here is first to discuss the meaning and some of the implications of our definition of culture, to discuss how what we might call a culture’s fundamental ideal or pattern is concretely embodied or realized in different cultural levels
In addition to individual differences, there are the differences we call cultural differences, differences caused by living within different cultures
