This seems to me a very obvious reflection: but it is frequently overlooked. [In this essay, Mr. Eliot examines different uses of the word 'culture' and discusses the social, regional and religious conditions which can provide a suitable environment for the development of this particular aspect of civilisation. In this essay, Mr. Eliot examines different uses of the word 'culture' and discusses the social, regional and religious conditions which can provide a suitable environment for the development of this particular aspect of civilisation. The general, or anthropological sense of the word culture, as used for instance by E. B. Tylor in the title of his book Primitive Culture, has flourished independently of the other senses: but if we are considering highly208CULTURAL STRATIFICATION and we are driven in the end to find it in the pattern of the society as a whole. But it is also due, I think, to his failure to take account of another way in which we use the word 'culture', besides the three already mentioned. As something to be achieved by deliberate effort, 'culture' is relatively intelligible when we are concerned with the selfcultivation of the individual, whose culture is seen against the background of the culture of the group and of the society. It is obvious that among the more primitive communities the several activities of culture are inextricably interwoven. A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual; and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of a group. The three senses of culture: The class and the elite: Unity and diversity: the region: Unity and diversity: sect and cult: A note on culture and politics: Notes on education and culture: and conclusion: Appendix: The unity of European culture. When it is applied to the improvement of the human mind and spirit, we are less likely to agree as to what culture is. The term itself, as signifying something to be consciously aimed at in human affairs, has not a long history. T.S. As a society develops towards functional complexity and differentiation, we may expect the emergence of several cultural levels: in short, the culture of the class or group will present itself. As civilisation becomes more complex, greater occupational specialisation evinces itself: in the 'stone age' New Hebrides, Mr. John Layard says, certain islands specialise in particular arts and crafts, exchanging their wares and displaying their accomplishments to the reciprocal satisfaction of the members of the archipelago. The best culture would be one in which the three meanings of “culture” weren’t at odds with one another. Therefore it is the culture of the society that is fundamental, and it is the meaning of the term 'culture' in relation to the whole society that should be examined first. And if we do not find culture in any one of these perfections alone, so we must not expect any one person to be accomplished in all of them; we shall come to infer that the wholly cultured individual is a phantasm; and we shall look for culture, not in any individual or in any one group of individuals, but more and more widely;209THE THREE SENSES OF 'CULTURE'T.
