Description
The studies in this book address a methodological problem: the necessity of using composite models to explain human phenomena and moving away from reductionist models. Composite models are those that do not rely on a single element to explain phenomena, but rather take into account several elements, including political, social, and economic factors, extending even to cultural elements and cognitive dimensions. Because the composite analytical model is multidimensional and multi-level, it can encompass most aspects of the phenomenon under study. The book includes a definition of cognitive models, the relationship between perception and reality, and a comparison between reductionist and composite models. It also includes a section on the relationship of indicators to each of these models. The book attempts to apply the interpretive method, through composite models, to various and diverse cultural phenomena such as Freemasonry, capitalism, and anti-Semitism.
