The Catholic University of America
CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CULTURE AND VALUES
|
|
Themes: - The Meaning and Value of Culture - The Formation of Cultural Heritages - Transvaluation in a Time of Change - Globalization: Cultures in Conflict and Dialogue Mission: It had long been thought that if science were freed from values and people divested of their cultures, all human problems would cease. These ideas have proven to be not only false, but destructive. Attention is now focused on rediscovering and transforming values that inspire and orient human life and to the cultures and ways of life that these constitute. The Catholic University of America (CUA) Center for the Study of Culture and Values (CSCV) is an embodiment of this new effort. The center promotes and publishes studies on the application of cultural heritages to the processes of contemporary change and global interchange. It unites in a mutually reinforcing manner university capabilities, national groups and research teams in various regions of the world. |
