7. Morphology of Cultures. A scheme of types of
cultures was presented by Huizinga; this, however,
does not correspond to particular historical peoples and
their mind. The orbit of a certain type comprises more
than one people. The whole idea has, however, a con-
siderable affinity with the concept of Volksgeist.
Huizinga lists a Latin type of culture, an Anglo-Saxon
one, and expresses doubts as to the existence of a Slavic
type as well as of a Germanic type. In Huizinga's
opinion, the Germanic type does not comprise a
plurality of nations as the Latin or Anglo-Saxon type.
In any case, the types which he lists are, in a certain
sense, Volksgeister projected on groups of peoples and
thus transcending any particular people in uniqueness.
