Proposition 003 – Lifelong formation and change

Personal civilisation is formed and changed throughout life.

• Explanation. A personal civilisation is not a configuration that is formed once and sub­sequently remains fixed. Throughout life, civilisation elements may arise, be adopted, in­ternalised, interpreted, strengthened, weakened, modified or rejected. The nature and extent of such changes may differ between periods and individuals. The process through which this formation and change take place is called civilising in this theory.
