Social Sciences - Anthropology | | Russian term or phrase: идеосфера | | Вторую крайность можно наблюдать в западных странах. Плюрализм в идеосфере не означает наличие нескольких идеосфер, подобно тому как плюрализм в экономике не означает наличие нескольких экономических сфер. Это — плюрализм в рамках одной идеосферы. |
| | | Ideosphere | Explanation:
The ideosphere, much like the noosphere, is the realm of memetic evolution, just like the biosphere is the realm of biological evolution. It is the "place" where thoughts, theories and ideas is thought to be created, evaluated and evolved. The health of an ideosphere can be measured by its memetic diversity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideosphere |

14 mins confidence: Ideosphere
Explanation:
"The word "ideosphere"
I am not sure off the top of my head where I first heard the word "ideosphere". It probably was in the book "Metamagical Themas" by Douglas Hofstadter. At any rate, just as "biosphere" refers to all the life in a system, and the interactions and interdependency of that life, the word "ideosphere" suggests an ecological relationship between all the symbols, belief systems, and ideas of the mind or society.
I felt that the word "ideosphere" would be a better word to have in the title for Web search engines to find. Although judging by the other stuff I find when I do a search on the word "ideosphere", I am no longer so sure. . . .
Perhaps I shall change it later." (See link below)
I think it's in the same vein as biosphere, noosphere, etc.
