Abstract

From the illustrations of progress and development in the arts and sciences, to which we, in line with title of the French Encyclopedia “…des sciences, des arts, et des métiers”, should add the crafts, we would like to outline a theory for development, particularly suitable for these sectors. Objects or manifestations of art are often characterized as being unique, in contrast to mass produced goods and services. The same is true in science as well, because any reproduction of scientific ideas necessarily is a consequence of ignorance or even intentional fraud. This makes theorizing about development in the cultural sector particularly hard, because we are accustomed to measure progress by means of growth in the numbers of well-defined objects. On the other hand, progress, or even just development, in these areas is justly seen as improvement or merely change in quality, rather than in quantity.
