| Summary: | "This study in culture-and-personality expresses the writer's belief that the main business of science is to describe, in sufficiently general language for the descriptions to be valid beyond the individual case, how classes of systems work. Portions of several chapters have been presented in the form of papers read to scientific audiences. The discussion of equivalence structures in Chapter I incorporates much of a paper entitled, "Equivalence Structures and the Cultural Articulation of Private Cognitive Worlds," read at the Cognitive Structures Symposium at the 1959 meetings of the American Anthropological Association in Mexico City. Most of Chapter II is drawn from a paper on evolution and the brain read to the 1958 seminar on the biological foundations of behavior at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University, New York"--Preface.
