Its motives are original human aspects...
Its motives are original human aspects, and its goal is the ideals that make man head for the attraction of life's supreme end. This is the culture that can provide man with truly original human civilization, and free him from all selfish rulers. Cultural activities also aim toward the highest of human values. If a culture is creative, objective and progressive, it will never fall. Pioneer culture originates from two factors - primary and secondary.
The primary factor is the active, mental factor that tends to change the universe into man's ideal home by using constructive human aspects. The secondary one involves the external and internal factors exclusive to each nation or peoples, accounting for their lifestyles. If pioneer culture is to dominate human societies, man should recognize the highest aim of life as one of the basic elements of culture.
The basic principles of pioneer culture are: 1- The principle of perfection-seeking and eagerness toward it. Cultural truth is eternal, even if its peoples and occurrences vary. 2- The principle of respect, which has been called love for peers, love for mankind and affection in human cultures.
3- Man's high desire for a proper life 4- Correcting and adjusting the four relationships: a) man-himself b) man-God c) man-the universe d) man-his fellow beings Two Aspects of Culture Every culture can have two aspects: 1- The observable, visible aspect includes the human ideas and ideals that materialize in an observable fact, like artifacts.
2- The clear aspect of culture consists of the ideals, emotions, morals and goals chosen for life and justifies and account for man's life individually or socially, consciously or unconsciously. The word 'clear' for these cultural aspects is like needing light and special glasses to see things, without which nothing would be observable. The clear, unobservable aspects of culture - which account for its observable aspects - are of different kinds: 1- Selfishness and greed for power.
2- Unintelligible racism and patriotism. 3- General ideas and ideals that have been of interest to man throughout history, like science, art and well-being. Some of the clear aspects of culture attract man with their ideal, desirable appearance. The way to deal with them is for man to refer to his own self. Since man has fallen quite far away from his own self nowadays, they have also put aside original, pioneer culture.
As we know, the clear aspect of culture interprets man's life in all its aspects.
