Literary notes about Developed (AI summary)
In literature the term "developed" conveys a sense of growth and transformation that can operate on both abstract and concrete levels. It is used to illustrate how ideas gradually unfold or evolve, as when Rousseau portrays the gradual abstraction of matter and spirit [1] or when Engels and Marx trace the emergence of a new social class [2]. At the same time, it describes physical and emotional maturation—as seen in Hardy’s depiction of a girl growing into womanliness [3] or Dickens’s careful shaping of a character’s traits [4]—and can even denote the elaboration of artistic and scientific constructs, exemplified by Victor Hugo’s expanding visions in art [5] and John Dewey’s theory of experience and knowledge [6].
