In several paragraphs here and below, Smith articulates a deep theory of culture emerging out of fashionFashion and tradition. In certain dimensions, like architecture, the change is too slow for people to sense its evolution, while poetry is forever. Few, therefore, may be aware of their taste in music, poetry, and architecture as evolutionary social constructs. In other dimensions like dress and furniture, which Smith relates to the durability of the materials used, people are quite aware of the evolving standard. The foundation for it all is rooted in Smith’s model of human sociability although it is expressed differently in different ages.

摘要

In several paragraphs here and below, Smith articulates a deep theory of culture emerging out of fashionFashion and tradition. In certain dimensions, like architecture, the change is too slow for people to sense its evolution, while poetry is forever. Few, therefore, may be aware of their taste in music, poetry, and architecture as evolutionary social constructs. In other dimensions like dress and furniture, which Smith relates to the durability of the materials used, people are quite aware of the evolving standard. The foundation for it all is rooted in Smith’s model of human sociability although it is expressed differently in different ages.
