ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the story, where typology leads to pay homage to a father. Henderson identified four contrasting stances that he saw as traditional orientations to culture, describing them as attitudes that explain much about how different individuals choose to engage with the culture in which they live. Henderson says that the social attitude is concerned with 'maintaining the ethical code of the culture', but his meaning turns out more precisely to be that the social attitude sustains a culture's ethos, everything from its political principles to its social fabric. Henderson identifies William James as a principal inspiration of the theory of cultural attitudes, citing James's Pragmatism. The psychological attitude provides flexibility for this system to stretch between its parts to generate cultural attitudes as needed to enhance self's basic function, which is to maintain an adaptation to inner and outer reality.
