English outline: Is there something we have hitherto ignored because our perception has been caught by the position (definition and description) of the cultural particle, the cultural particulars and therefore the momentum of human consciousness as a whole has eluded us? And what would be the consequence if we were creating awareness for the momentum of consciousness as a whole instead of the positioning of cultural mental particles alone? What if we were leveraging this quantum insight in intercultural research? Aren’t we trying to open a new door hitherto not only locked but not even perceived. It is a matter of pioneering this quantum cultural assumption. ---------- GERMAN:Insbesondere die Neurophysiologie, die Quantenphysik, die klassische griechische Philosophie und der Bewusstseinsforschung, sowie die höchsten Erkenntnisse der Hochkulturen diverser Zeiten und Breiten weisen auf eine für das nachhaltige Diversitätsmanagement relevante Erkenntnis hin, die offenbar im Menschen von Anbeginn potentiell angelegt war und die sich mit dem Eintritt in das globale dritte Millennium aktualisieren kann. Somit scheint die Ontogenese und die Phylogenese die Lösungen für die mit ihr einhegenden Herausforderungen bereitgestellt zu haben.
Der transkulturelle Ansatz, wie ich ihn verstehe, zeigt, wie man auch ohne quantitatives Wissen über kulturelle Profile individueller, organisationeller oder nationaler Akteure den mentalen Speicher, indem sich die sogenannte mentale Software befindet, für erfolgreiche und nachhaltige Interaktionen über kulturelle Grenzen hinweg auf individueller oder kollektiver Ebene aktivieren, deaktivieren und transzendieren kann.

Objectives & Key Themes
This study explores the logic of human values and their management, proposing a transition from traditional, deterministic intercultural models toward a holistic, transcultural paradigm. It examines how individual and collective consciousness can transcend the inherent dualism and conflict of cultural programming to achieve global integration.
- The role of values as a global cultural axiomatic and its link to group integrity.
- A critical analysis of intercultural research generations (from determinism to indeterminism).
- The impact of neurophysiological principles on cultural and social interaction.
- The introduction of "transcultural intelligence" as a tool for dilemma resolution.
- The potential for a new paradigm based on "creative probabilism" and integrated cultural management.
Excerpt from the Book
VALUES - A CULTURAL AXIOMATIC
In this essay I would like to address the subject of values, their logic and their management: Values! - Probably no other term has been used as frequently as this term in East and West over the past years. Washington’s game of alliances is determined by it as much as Europe’s. Chief executives of the EU define the European Community as a community of values. On both sides of the Atlantic it presides over strategic, military and economic thinking. Even transatlantic policy and strategy are subject to this key criterion of alliances. The Asian nations might circumvent such a Western rationalist intellectual construct and simply uphold their uniqueness beyond the ken of outsiders.
The values debate seems to be globally scaled in culturally diverse garbs and styles. It has taken over the baton from the 20th century’s ideological debate to be carried on into the 21st century global arena of worldwide “co-opetition” (US neologism combining cooperation and competition). The baton sprint sports metaphor in a henceforth globally scaled arena sets the scene in the sense that it suggests both tough inter-group competition and best practice intra-group cooperation. Should it, however, be a replay of the old game with higher stakes, we know what we are in for.
Summary of Chapters
Values - A Cultural Axiomatic: This chapter introduces the core concept of values as a governing principle of human social structures and group integrity, analyzing their role as a "cultural axiomatic" that drives modern global conflicts and alliances.
From Interculturalism to Transculturalism: This section maps the evolution of intercultural research through the lens of scientific paradigm shifts—from Newtonian determinism to quantum-inspired indeterminism—and proposes transculturalism as the next evolutionary step.
Von der Inter- zur Transkulturalität. Ein Paradigmawechsel?: Der deutsche Teil des Werks vertieft die Hypothese eines Paradigmenwechsels und erläutert die Bedeutung der neurophysiologischen und ganzheitlich-trinitären Struktur des menschlichen Geistes für ein neues Kulturverständnis.
FAQ about transculturalism: Dieses Kapitel beantwortet grundlegende Fragen zum transkulturellen Ansatz, zur funktionalen Neurophysiologie und zur praktischen Anwendbarkeit der "transkulturellen Intelligenz" zur Bewältigung kultureller Antagonismen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fundamental premise of this work?
The work argues that values act as a hidden, axiomatic governing force behind human behavior and societal conflicts, often leading to tribalism and social division.
What are the primary themes discussed?
The themes include the relationship between cultural conditioning and biological dualism, the evolution of scientific paradigms in culture research, and the need for a holistic management approach.
What is the ultimate goal of the research presented?
The goal is to move beyond conventional intercultural competence towards "transcultural intelligence," enabling individuals to transcend cultural antagonisms through higher-order consciousness.
Which scientific methods are employed?
The author uses a transdisciplinary approach, drawing analogies from physics (quantum paradigms), neurophysiology (law of functional subordination), and philosophy to categorize cultural behaviors.
What is covered in the main body of the text?
The body analyzes the history of intercultural research models, the biological anchoring of values, and the limitations of deterministic cultural theories in the face of modern global challenges.
Which keywords best characterize this study?
Keywords include transculturalism, cultural axiomatic, noetic consciousness, neurophysiological integration, and the paradigm shift from determinism to creative probabilism.
What does the author mean by the "noetic" level?
It refers to the highest level of human consciousness, serving as an integrative structure that can regulate and harmonize lower-level, conflicting cultural programs.
Is this approach compatible with religious ethics?
Yes, the author views the transcultural approach as being in alignment with higher religious ethics, operating as a mystical thread that fosters the "brotherhood of man" beyond individual egos.
