The world of culture differs from the physical one. It functions under different laws, depends on different circumstances and driving forces, and develops different powers. Ancient Romans said "Natura parendo vincitur", that is "In obeying nature one wins." In other words, we can get the best fruits from nature, if we act in accordance with its laws. Likewise, we can get the best fruits from culture, if we act in accordance with its own laws and do not project on it laws that govern civilization. The quintessential law of the nature of culture is "Ultimate Freedom."
