     Following Leslie White (1975), I call culturology the sociological, economic, political, and historical study of cultural systems, or cultures in the narrow or sociological sense of the word. Obviously, culturology can be synchronic or diachronic. In the former case it coincides with the anthropology, sociology, economics, and politology of culture.
