Triadic Philosophy
A Universal Way of Life for the 2000s

Triadic Philosophy - The Testosterone Problem
Triadic Philosophy
may strike some as
light on male values
I accept that
There is a simple way
to move beyond a binary we-they approach
Triadic Philosophy itself
Triadic Philosophy confesses our universal ignorance
Triadic Philosophy sees
that our grasp of reality is limited
Triadic Philosophy acknowledges that
we may never know
all that is true
Triadic Philosophy rests on
chronology continuity and pragmaticism
What we believe
is limited and highly tentative
We "know" at our peril
Triadic Philosophy
infers from Reality
a common sense response
to this universal ignorance
Triadic Philosophy infers that there are values
found in Reality that are
proved by
their resilience in human experience
their capacity is to drive history
toward progress
These values are non-idolatry
(our admission of ignorance)
and these active values
tolerance democracy and helpfulness
These replace inherited binary ethics
ethics that have looked away in the face of
patriarchy violence abuse and greed
The action portion of
Triadic Philosophy
I call Aesthetic
Aesthetics
belongs at the center of life
It is more than a quality by which we judge "art"
Aesthetics is the fusion of
beauty and truth
Keats
propounded it in his Ode To A Grecian Urn
Beauty is truth, truth beauty
This is an intensely pragmaticist utterance
Herein lies Triadic Philosophy's
Testosterone Problem
We are engaged this century in
a
move beyond
onerous patriarchal
dominance
which throws culture and society askew
Our world does little to counter
inequality and intolerance
Helpfulness remains for many
an
afterthought that charity will solve
leaving a world of manifest injustices
Only a universal move of individuals to the
values of Triadic Philosophy
will create a universal sea change
Triadic Philosophy's
Testosterone Problem
is precisely about moving past
these retro characteristics of male culture
Men are in flux today
Triadic Philosophy
is the future of us all
The revolution of this century is
t
implicit in the enactment of
the values of Triadic Philosophy

Triadic Philosophy Commentary - How to deal with a pesky sign like sex crime suspect
We take any sign
Say s
ex crime suspect
as the first
the Reality
We let that sign encounter
the second
the Ethical
The ontological values of
tolerance democracy helpfulness
and the root value non-idolatry
Non-idolatry confesses ignoramce
We recognize the role of ignorance
in dealing with this sign
Facts causes possibilities remedies
We acknowledge all we don't
or cannot know
and shy away from claims
to know what we do not
We try to frame an
Aesthetic response that reflects
truth and beauty
in the belief that
as truth and beauty fuse
reality is enhanced
We combine
the values of Triadic Philosophy
into the best possible response
If the response fails we try again
until we find a way
