The purpose of these lectures is to help a person who is far from systematically studying culture to begin to navigate the global cultural process. The customs of classical Antiquity, the painting of the High Renaissance, Russian realism, contemporary postmodern art, the language of kitsch, advertising and our everyday life - we see that the language of culture is changing, but is there an invisible law that, like a pendulum, determines its movement? From the caves of the Stone Age to the birth of the megalopolis, the author traces the stages of the formation of culture and identifies the signs that characterize a culture that is declining.

You have in your hands a time-tested course of lectures, supplemented by articles on art that reveal cultural ideas using specific examples.
