Cultura occidentalis
Cultura occidentalis[1] sensu lato non solum ad mores et normas sed etiam ad patrimonia ideologica, ethica ac politica refertur. Etiamque consistit in rebus arte factis peculiaribus, quarum origo aut ratio ad Europam pertinet. Praeterea culturae occidentalis sunt civitates, quarum historia immigratione Europaea pernotuit, sicut civitates America Septentrionalis atque Australasiae.
Culturae occidentalis propria sunt complures mores artis, constitutiones legum, nec non scribendi et philosophandi traditiones praesertim ex mundo Graeco-Romano oriunda, etiamque patrimonia multorum gregum ethnicorum eorundemque linguarum, sicut Celtarum et Germanorum. Praeterea religio Christiana ad civilizationem occidentalem formandam post saeculum IV saltem quam purimum contulit.[3][4] Etiam in variis vitae actibus rationalismus, a philosophis Hellenisticis, scholasticis, humanistis, illuministis, itemque ab auctoribus revolutionis scientificae et innovationis partus et traditus, ad mentes hominum Europaeorum formandas multum contulit. Existimationes culturae occidentali communes per aetates a philosophia politica ductae sunt, cum disputationes rationales cogitationi liberae, adsumptioni iurum humanorum, egalitarismo nec non democratiae faveant.[5]
De historia
Documenta historica originem culturae occidentalis in Europa vigentis a Graecia antiqua et Roma antiqua ducunt. Itaque cultura occidentalis continuo crevit fide Christiana per medium aevum Europaeum crebrescente, vique renascentiae ad reformationem renovationemque impellente, et denique imperiis Europaeis colonias sibi parantibus modosque vivendi educandique rationes Europaeas circa orbem terrarum inter saecula XVI et XX spargentibus.[6] Quae cum ita sint, cultura Europaea nata est ex multiplici philosophiae, scholasticae mediaevalis, mysticismi varietate cum humanismo Christiano et saeculari coniuncta. Cogitatio rationalis per longum mutationis et formationis tempus crevit, scilicet experimentis illuminationis et inventis scientificis proficiens. Cultura Europaea, cum per orbem terrarum extenderetur, superbo appetitu alienogenarum morum tacta est.[7]
Inclinationes rerum ac momenta, quibus definiri coeptae sunt societates occidentales hodiernae, sunt pluralismus, subculturae vel contraculturae conspicuae, sicut motus Novae Aetatis (Anglice New Age), et syncretismus culturalis ex globalizatione et gentiumque migratione consecutus.
