Clifford Geertz; Altered Foundation of Anthropology - washingtonpost.com:

"In his most influential book, The Interpretation of Cultures (1973), Dr. Geertz described culture as 'a system of inherited conceptions expressed in symbolic forms by means of which people communicate, perpetuate and develop their knowledge about and attitudes toward life.'"

I am an admirer of Dr. Geertz' work. His was a useful life! JAD
