Style of Life -Robert Redfield

Robert Red field described concept of style of life as consisting not of culture but of all that may be regarded as most fundamental and permanent about a culture which has persisted in time.It would include ways of securing a living in so far as these play a role in the shaping of the conception of what  constitutes the good life.


Style of life emphasizes explicit and implicit judgement about the constituents  of right conduct.Also included are the tastes and performances which invest a people with their own peculiar individuality.Redfield compares his style of life to Lionell Trilling's manners which the latter has defined as the implicit,explicit and unutterable expressions of value.
