Abstract. Edward B. Tylorâs Primitive Culture articulates one of two major theories of culture to emerge around 1870. His theory defines culture in descriptive terms as the âcomplex wholeâ that makes up social ideas and institutions, and in this it helped to establish anthropology as a recognized science.
One of the most comprehensive definitions of the term culture was provided by the British anthropologist Edward Tylor. He defined culture as â that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of societyâ. There are some writers who add to this definitions some of the importantâ other capabilities and habitsâ such as language and the techniques for making and using tools.
