Emil POP<br />

Culture and Personality. Economic and Civilizing Dimensions<br />

Abstract. The paper is a personal approach, based on scientific<br />

information from various research areas, of the correlation between culture<br />

and personality. The author discusses some of the main functions of culture:<br />

anticipatory, civilizing, educational, economic and political. The social<br />

functions of contemporary culture can be succintly expressed - if we take into<br />

consi<strong>de</strong>ration their interconditionality, their role in generating and<br />

spreading cultural values and in stimulating social activity – in one general<br />

function which is the result of the complex influence of all structural and<br />

superstructural factors with an impact on cultture. More exactly, this<br />

function is that of mo<strong>de</strong>lling the personality of human beings, at the same<br />

time creators and beneficiaries of civilization and culture.<br />

The last part of the paper discusses the correlations and importance of<br />

the economic and civilizing dimensions of culture and personality.<br />

Keywords: culture, personality, functions of culture, dimensions of<br />

personality, anticipatory, civilizing, political, moral, religious.<br />

interpretările noţiunii <strong>de</strong> cultură. Trebuie să subliniem că, în<br />

majoritatea accepţiunilor sau interpretărilor, cultura – ca realitate<br />

trecută, prezentă sau viitoare – nu este pusă la îndoială sau contestată<br />

ca necesitate; dimpotrivă, aproape toate argumentările vin, explicit sau<br />

implicit, în sprijinul afirmării, susţinerii unei condiţii sine qua non a<br />

socio-umanului – Cultura.<br />

Pentru relevarea funcţiilor sociale ale culturii în societatea<br />
