Abstract
To understand the nature of driving forces for cultural development, we must distinguish between a physical and an ideal realm. However, the ontological status of the ideal realm in relation to the physical realm is heavily debated. We argue for the necessity and relevance of both realms; both are connected through the actions of agents based on their mental concepts. The dynamic forces for the actions of the ideal realm are drivers for cultural development.
