see expl. Explanation: You'd want to match the register and type of 'seine Beschreibung'. The person quoted could mean, in more everyday language, an ideal; if they are intending to express more philosophical jargon, then words like construct or paradigm, even dominant paradigm, might suit the rest of the text better. If you have more useful context and need help deciding what fits best, you could post it here or contact me direct. No web refs, just own philosophy studies at uni. |
