Proposition 079 – Class 2: change of civilisation elements

Political change may modify one or more civilisation elements of a circle civilisation without changing the circle civilisation as a whole pro­foundly class 2.

• Explanation. In this class, political struggle concerns not only a decision within existing stan­dards but the modification of one or more of those standards themselves. Concep­tions of what is true, right, normal or desirable may change in a particular field, while other central elements of the circle civilisation and the legitimacy of its principal institu­tions remain largely intact. Examples include debates about procedures, representation, admission criteria, powers or conditions that determine what counts as legitimate or ap­propriate within the circle.
