Headline and following in quotes are from A Thief of Peirce, Jackson, 1995, 280-281.
"It's object should be to increase our understanding of social realities ... No one who desires dictatorial control over other persons can be a scientist."
The ultimate or ontological values common to all protect against the dictatorial urge. Democracy mediates among interests. Tolerance is strong in the face of provocation. Helpfulness motivates awareness of universal aspirations. And non-idolatry modifies the regal impulse.
