On Lifestyles

Abstract

The article contributes to the recent discussion on the nature of lifestyles commenting on the problems of conformity and nonconformity, convention and invention in the community culture and in the cultivation of the spiritual values. The author emphasizes, in particular, the importance of the realization of moral values which do not threaten to impede the originality that must be manifested in every day life both through individual and social predilections. Full autonomy of self-identification in the formation of personality and lifestyles is, above all, a result of the moral effort of always respecting the person as the basic value.
