Proposition 006 – Circle-dependent operative elements

Which civilisation elements of a personal civilisation are operative differs according to the social circle to which an individual belongs.

• Explanation. Operative means that a selection of the civilisation elements from a per­son’s personal civilisation directs thinking, judgement, volition and conduct in a concrete situation. Which elements come to the fore differs according to the social circle within which the individual operates. The same civilisation elements may be operative in sev­eral circles; the differences concern the composition and relative significance of the op­erative elements.
