For too long people have taken their own ways of life for granted ignoring the vast international cultural community that srrounds them. Humankind must now embark on the difficult journey beyond culture to the discovery of a lost self a sense of perspective. By holding up a mirror Hall permits us to see the awesome grip of unconscious culture. With concrete examples ranging from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake�to the mating habits of the bowerbird of New Guinea Hall shows us ourselves.
