Triadic Philosophy What Is Required of a Philosophy

Unknown Cosmos

+

A philosophy needs to start by saying what is 
universal and true,
what things apply to all.
The most damaging word in philosophy is of
A philosophy of this or of that
wrenches philosophy from an obligation
to say what is universal in every situation.
The result is a distortion of reality.
The traditional name for such distortion is idolatry
In Triadic Philosophy, 
Reality is the foundation. 
It is universal.
 Its companions are Ethics and Aesthetics.
All enterprises are in the pale of reality.
They do not transcend it.
They are finite, open to alteration, 
subject to continuity.
Logic, mathematics, science, theology, psychology
all fall under Reality, not beyond it.
All are subject to the universal sway of
Ethics and Aesthetics.

The truth of Triadic Philosophy
rests in its capacity to establish 
its premises to the point that they are 
acknowledged to be accurate and therefore
consistent with truth and beauty
because they properly represent Reality

Triadic Philosophy Rejects Infallibility while Pressing on Toward The Truth of Things


Charles Sanders Peirce said  we can never
be held to any absolute
Nothing is infallible
Triadic Philosophy agrees
Infallibility argues that in any sample 
lies whole truth
Anyone familiar with medical trials
knows this is a fallible suggestion 
Time and knowledge render
even cherished axioms fallible
We are all fallible

Still many things can be known
Ignorance is not bliss
Both science and experience 
constantly add to 
what can be assumed
We live according to 
the best guess at the time

Triadic Philosophy's root value
is non-idolatry
It is in this context 
that we should accept our fallibility
even as we keep seeking the truth

Among the many virtues of not being famous

Among the many virtues of not being famous
Is the capacity to get the work done because no one is nattering at you
And the inability to lard your blog with endless posts about what show you are appearing on
And the final sign of terminal fame illness - the necessity to start referring to yourself in the third person

Mildred Purse Parses Money and Celebrity


Money is missed mainly when there's none
The world is better off when all have some
Celebrity a blessing and a curse
The happiest do not seek either one
