Concepts of "Cultural Personality" in the Ideologies of the Third World

The wide diffusion of the concepts of "cultural personality" or "cultural originality" in the social thought of developing Asian and African countries is determined by a number of circumstances. These concepts, though they claim a theoretical understanding of the processes involved in the "entry of these countries into the 20th century," all boil down to the basic fact that the source, the foundation and the decisive sphere for the processes of self-determination in developing Asian and African countries in the present day world must be their traditional cultures, as opposed to the industrial civilization of the West
