Abstract

I. An analysis of the evolution of the idea of culture might seem to be quite an ambitious undertaking, inasmuch as it covers so many aspects — philosophical, historical, literary, and sociological. Such a study in fact requires a certain multidisciplinarity, but, as the title of this essay suggests, the pedagogical aspect will remain our main concern in this discussion. It is not possible in such a study to make an exhaustive analysis of all the nuances that have accrued to the concept of culture during the course of history. And so, our analysis is presented as an attempt to categorize the main currents of ideas delineating this concept, and hence as a certain system — perforce a simplification of a more complex reality. At the same time, during the course of our presentation we shall endeavor as much as possible to respect the chronological course of events, although, as we have said, our analysis is both historical and systematic.
