Triadic Philosophy - Confronting the pathos of academic specialization

World in Limbo

Academic specialization is one of the 
main barriers to appreciating 
the revolution Peirce and Nietzsche launched 
which is now in progress. 
The revolution  is the move from binary to triadic thinking. 
The ethical  and aesthetic elements in Triadic Philosophy 
are my inference and effort 
to build past Nietzsche and Peirce. 
And Kierkegaard as well.  
All pointed to the ethical and the aesthetic 
as if they could sense what Derrida 
and many others would soon come to realize.  
Without the unprecedented, 
that is to say  ’without Triadic Philosophy’, 
we are simply condemned to more of the same, 
to the result of philosophies 
drenched in nominalism and 
dripping with the detritus of 
a world doomed to condone 
and fall into violence. 
Academic specialization  
in its present traditional form 
is a pathetic idolatry, 
a hallowing of empty competition 
too onerous to be credited 
with saving grace.

What power do we need to supplant deadly power

What power do we need to supplant deadly power
Is all motion just death in waiting
Is all power lethal
Where can safety be found
Is it in the mind
Accepting our risk 
Going with the flow
Or is it saying 
Start with what least kills
Start with life that is most life 
Dismantle death machines
I say the latter
Sooner
Better
Start with big oil
And then nukes
And then address our woeful sad mentality
Assenting to the things that clearly bode lethality

Obama Nonviolent - When it Seems Not The Case

Obama, Violence and the Future - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com

In the piece above I argue that the President could be our first Nonviolent Chief Executive
That seems a stretch when we have commandoes on secret missions in over 100 countries
But I am not sure he is not at least open to a turn toward a more realistic peace than we have imagined
The alternative is no less thinkable now than it was when we thought Cold War thoughts
It is in fact fraught with terror
The answer lies in a vast revaluation of values
Values are ontological elements of each human being
They are where freedom is
The only place where it is in terms of our conduct of life
It is to values that we must look
Nonviolence is not a value it is a characteristic like honor and courage
A value is a mode of acting that issues in tangible results
When the result is a nonbullying world it is because more and more people have learned tolerance, democracy and helpfulness and understand that these are universal within each living human being
