Abstract

Curricular planning for sociocultural development rests upon dubious ethnocentric assumptions respecting the superiority of the modern. Analysis shows that a society's capacity for controlling and directing its own inherent propensity for change and/or stability is profoundly conditioned by the phenomenological form experientially assumed by the basic epistemological categories of time, space, causation, number, ethics, and aesthetics. For a variety of logical and functional reasons, therefore, continuing validity must everywhere be accorded to many
traditional practices.
