Ed Nichols Model for Understanding Cultural Differences

Ed Nichols’ model for the philosophical aspects of culture.  

Different  world  cultures  developed  out  of  differing  physical  environments.

These  world  views  have  differing  constructs:

• Axiology  (values)
• Epistemology  (way  of  knowing)
• Logic  (principles  of  reason)
• Process  (practice  of  reason)
