The Teleological Views of Veryl Yoder
The following are my efforts at classifying the myriad patterns of social, religious, psychological, and political thought, behavior, and organization of societies in our world. In broad sweeps, I see some cultures that emphasize collectivity more as differentiated from those that emphasize individualism. Likewise, I see differentiation between those emphasizing an analytical approach to social organization, highlighting the material world in the scientific and technical realms. On the other hand, those embody a more synthetic approach that emphasizes an immaterial, spiritual dimension.
