The place of logic, mathematics and science in Triadic Philosophy

+ 

The place where we are within the continuity that is our reality 

creates conditions that will enable enough of a move 

from binary to triadic thinking 

to save us from the worst consequences of rearguard effort to defeat it 

+ 

The enabling conditions are the fruits of triadic thinking 

the rewards of an embrace of Triadic Philosophy 

+ 

The simple yet foundational triad of this philosophy 

Reality Ethics Aesthetics 

invites the thinker to build triads on the basis of these terms 

Reality the First 

Ethics the Second 

Aesthetics the Third 

+ 

The perspective of this pragmaticist approach 

enables a revolutionary categorical distinction in which key processes 

like logic mathematics and science 

are considered as means rising up 

in the ontological realm 

 to serve the pragmaticist project 

which is to expand the scope and depth of Triadic Philosophy 

+ 

The ontological root value non-idolatry 

serves to place logic mathematics and science 

within the realm of our finite real not above it 

and to invite each to parse their responsibilities 

in terms of the triadic reality in which we now live

This is the new frontier of the 21st century

Progress is inevitable reality as progressive values take more and more hold Progress widens tolerance helpfulness and democracy Progress underlines non-idolatry
+
Our society is hobbled by the existence of progressive minds throughout  imprisoned by economic racial and class constraints The solution is a system by which  progressively-motivated persons from all walks of life can come together in communities that mirror the progressive values  tolerance democracy and helpfulness

The two great scraps of paper note-takers were Peirce and Nietzsche

It will take this century for the change to begin taking root Science will trace its synapses to the brain but idealist realists in philosophy will know it is our escape from the grip of too many things to name suffice to say that they include terms like binary and nominalist   +
The two great scraps of paper note-takers were Peirce and Nietzsche whose persons merged though they knew not one another Both presaged a move beyond the narrowness of religion Both transmuted metaphysical into life realized within the immanent frame Peirce pushed forward more explicitly but Nietzsche understood at a deep level what now makes for a revaluation of values that became his final conundrum
+1
Keats preceded these note takers and as poets will presaged a saving binary that gave birth to a saving triad Beauty and Truth were One to John And knowing this was the foundation of pragmaticism Peirce's ever-unfinished philosophy Now to essay a triad Reality contains truth and beauty among other things Ethics strains reality through who we are  we fallible nomads of this universe living by the ticking of the clock Aesthetics determines the success of our experimental lives Let them lack beauty and they will lack truth Let the reverse be so and truth will reign Or as the song has it We shall overcome

On what basis can we name values as ontological? There is only one valid basis.

+
On what basis can we name values as ontological There is only one valid basis
+
REALITY
Within the scope of chronology  of continuity these are the values that have risen to the top All of them are part of what constitutes a menu of virtue within reality authenticated by our experience as human beings
+
ETHICS
It is through reality's encounter with fallibility and continuity that we arrive at the ethical the mandate to make these values actionable And it is through willing these values that we experience in measurable results the fruit of their value
+
AESTHETICS
We are known by our willing of tolerance helpfulness and democracy and by our underlying acceptance of the base value non-idolatry This parsing of ontology professes the pragmaticist truth within what we can infer as the root of Jesus's significance By our fruits we are known
+
By our exercise of will to limn the presence of these ontological values and strain them through the exigencies of our existence until they become concrete habits and rules of behavior with concrete results we end up in a position to infer that they are in truth truth being ontology

We have a genuinely new frontier (JFK's was rhetorical)

We have a genuinely new frontier (JFK's was rhetorical) Ours is to repossess the land that lies between the rising oceans and make new settlements diverse as we are that integrate great medieval notions before cars existed and face to face gave way to gadget flinching self-degrading We have it in us all Americans to reinhabit Kansas and Nebraska and all the broken places in between with their pitiful main streets and fast-fleeing broken populations We can build places where cars don't go near enough to vacant Interstate stretches  promising transit to 100 other new city communities at once Medieval and tech far beyond now not little boxes the next generation of spaces the cars (culturally, economically)  of the future just as  PCs became  the cars (c. e.) of our waning present (Remember all that language about power and speed) We are a broken people neither side is happy with victory or defeat we know the center will not hold The only way it can is take it literally Move from the coasts inland Leave the beaches to the oceans  save us all from endless rebuilding of wreckage left by every coming flood Go West from East Go East from West Reinhabit the nation Rebecome America + Stephen's Remarkable Kindle Store
