Acceptance of culture: value and praxeological approach

The article is devoted to the consideration of the value and activity approaches to the analysis of culture. It is shown that values are important not in themselves, but as criteria for a person's choice of certain alternatives in a given situation. Culture, thus, becomes a way and a method of value assimilation of being, expressed in the praxeological behavior of people. In the process of activity, a person creates, including himself, develops his essential forces, carries out socialization and individualization, becomes a member of society, a unique personality. This is the human-creative, cultural meaning of human activity. The activity approach allows us to overcome the limitations and disadvantages of the value approach, which is expressed in the awareness of the factor of dynamics. Culture is perceived not only as an object, but also as a process.
