If every moment you continue living after someone you died had moved on- does a part of you continue to die with them? Or just for that one circumstance? Do you, yourself- count as writing tradition?
@lucifargundam I'm not sure what you are asking, English is not my native tongue. If you are asking if by writing, I have become a tradition, no. But I do participate in a tradition which is writing. Though I do not consider writing in itself a tradition as it (both writing and language actualy) evolve over time, were traditions do not, because they are ritualistic in nature and most are a snapshot of things from the past. Writing is a vehicle that can describe traditions. 1/2

<< No, I was asking about how you would more-precisely define 'tradition' in a philosophical context.

<<I believe it is writing down the traditions of the past to be a tradition in itself. Originally, oral traditions were the primary medium- written had since then become the new tradition. Perhaps, writing can serve as a duality of tradition and vehicle of tradition?
@lucifargundam That I can agree on, the dualitiy, indeed, writing traditions down for generaties to come is a widespread (global) tradition, writing is the tool to use. But the funny thing is that some traditions survive the langauge they were written in or are rediscovered by someone who learnes a forgotten language, they can be each others survival.
