CASTLE IN TRANSYLVANIA STRATEGY CHAPTER 1 GENERAL STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK THE DEFINITION OF CULTURE Firstly, we would like to acknowledge and take a note on the existence of a sizable number of definitions on culture. In 1952 Alfred L. Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn in their work entitled “The Nature of Culture” identified no less, than 165 defini- tions. Similarly, in 1967, Abraham A. Moles in his work “Sociodynamique de la culture” points out to more than 250 definitions.1 Since these publications, the number of these definitions has only grown even more, and as the term has become more and more diversified, it became extremely difficult for all the sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and psychologists to find one commonly accepted definition. If we see the culture also as present in the different segments of society, and in different sub components or look at the historical moments of its morphology, the number of definitions, descriptions, nuances increase again in a significant way. Etymologically, the word culture comes from the Latin word cultura, which for the Romans meant the cultivation of the land. The word is translated as “to cultivate”, “to honour” and refers to the human activity of working the field. From another perspec- tive, for some of our Ancient thinkers, culture appeared as a way of understanding a certain topic, for example philosophy was characterized as the culture of spirit, assumed and developed in a sense that culture represents the cultivation of human values, development and emancipation of human spirit. In the 18th century Voltaire gave it a new sense, namely the cultivation of mind, intellect and human peculiarity.2
