The goal of
Triadic Philosophy is to propound a universally applicable mode of thinking
that leads to "good" expressions and actions.
The premise
of Triadic Philosohy is indeed that we are in continual dialogue with ourselves
and that we can refine and even direct such dialog via conscious decisions we
can make.
The urge to
live and to do what we will and to share with others - reflect values but are
not what I mean by universal values. I contend that there are four basic values
that have operated to create progress over time. Tolerance, democracy,
helpfulness and non-idolatry. These are complementary and interactive with
non-idolatry, essentially the first commandment, functioning as a brake on our
assumptions of infallibility.
In my view
conscious thought begins with and is demonstrated by the fact that we choose
values.
"We
value, therefore we are." History is the sum and aggregate of every human
act and is influenced by the choice of values.
There is
indeed truth in the notion that we think in threes and that binary thinking is
inherently stunted, as it applies to life generally.
I will
continue to defend reality, ethics and aesthetics as a root template for
conscious thinking.
