Hans-Georg Gadamer on Fashion - Dictionary of Arguments
I 42 Fashion/Gadamer: A phenomenon that is closely linked to taste is fashion. Here, the moment of social generalization that the concept of taste contains becomes a defining reality. But it is precisely this opposition to fashion that makes it clear that the generalisation that is due to taste has a completely different basis and does not only mean empirical generality. (This is the essential point for Kant). >Taste/Kant. In the concept of fashion [German "Mode"] lies already linguistically that it is about a changeable how (modus) within a lasting whole of social behaviour. What is merely a matter of fashion contains in itself no other norm than that set by the acting of all. Fashion regulates at its discretion only those things that can be just as different. For it, indeed, empirical generality, consideration for others, comparison, and thus putting oneself in a general perspective is constitutive. In this respect, fashion creates a social dependence that is difficult to escape. Fashion/Kant/Gadamer: Kant is quite right, if he thinks it is better to be a fool in fashion than against I 43 fashion.(1) Taste/Gadamer: on the other hand, is to be determined as a mental discrimination. >Taste/Gadamer, >Taste/Kant. 1.
