Proposition 061 – Conditions of social stability

Social stability exists for as long as any contradictions among per­sonal civilisations, circle civilisations, social relations and institutions do not disrupt their social operation.

• Explanation. Social stability requires neither complete agreement nor immutability. Differences and tensions may exist as long as they do not disrupt the operation of social circles, social rela­tions and institutions to such a degree that existing patterns of think­ing, judgement, volition and conduct are no longer reproduced. Once that operation is disrupted, pressure for change arises.
