Reasoning is The Province of Every Man, Woman and Child
Triadic Philosophy believes that reasoning is the province of every man woman and child, that it is inherent amd that it can be described in terms of its capacities which include will, intuition and various faculties that can be called into service.
Experience is a great teacher and and can hone the inner capacities that all possess.
Logic is hampered only by influences which all have the effect of contradicting it. In Triadic Philosophy these constitute the values that descend in the direction of a spectrum of harm.
These range from selfishness and mindlessness to invidious judging, exclusion and ganging up to intolerance, being unhelpful and opposing democracy to actual inflicting of harm and death.
In general it is the insertion of a clear and realistic ethic into the mix, replacing the Aristotelian virtues ethic that provides Triadic Philosophy with a realistic basis for confronting the world as it is and proposing solutions that work.
Triadic Philosphy does not deny evil. Nor does it remove it from where it lodges which is our hearts insofar as they are not consciously engaged in the effort to do good.
Peirce: CP 2.3 Cross-Ref:††
3. … We all have a natural instinct for right reasoning, which, within the special business of each of us, has received a severe training by its conclusions being constantly brought into comparison with experiential results. Nay, we not only have a reasoning instinct, but as I shall early show,†1 we have an instinctive theory of reasoning, which gets corrected in the course of our experience. So, it would be most unreasonable to demand that the study of logic should supply an artificial method of doing the thinking that his regular business requires every man daily to do. . . .
