Proposition 082 – Movements require systems of ideas

A movement cannot arise without a shared or developing system of ideas.

• Explanation. A movement presupposes more than isolated agreement about particular concep­tions or interests. Sufficient coherence must arise among shared civilisation ele­ments to connect individuals and social circles durably and direct interpretation, goals and conduct. The system of ideas need not be fully developed or formally recorded when the movement arises, but it must be sufficiently available and recognisable socially to be shared and developed further.
