Triadic Philosophy Works in All Contexts
The reasoning of Triadic Philosophy works in all contexts. This is a remarkable claim in a world where the barriers between disciplines grow higher and it is hard to have discussions because their languages and usages differ.
But the power of Triadic Philosophy is precisely due to the universality of its basic terminology. Reality. Ethics. Aesthetics. Tolerance. Helpfulness, Democracy, Non-idolatry. Truth, Beauty, Expression. Action. There is no way that these terms with their definitions cannot vault over any barrier on the planet. And there is every reason to accept the argument that they work together to achieve progress.
Reality is whatever comes up. Ethics is the universal values Tolerance, Helpfulness and Democracy and the root value Non-idolatry. Truth and Beauty are the aims of the exercise. And what you decide to say and do are the Expression and Action that may emerge from this triadic exercise. Reality is the issue or matter. Ethics is what rises up to challenge it. The result is what leads to some determination — a statement or act or both.
This will not lead you to a cure for cancer or a budget for your bus company but it is a context for advancing you as you wish through life and through your life work.
If you are spiritual there is a counsel to engage in a daily exercise that centers on forgiveness and being forgiven.
This is a simple, universal mode that can revolutionize life on the planet in the direction of security for all. There is no context in which it is not relevant.
Peirce: CP 2.4 Cross-Ref:††
4. … Such help [a theory of reasoning] is rather to be expected in extraordinary and unusual problems — especially in those of a speculative character, where conclusions are not readily checked by experience, and where our instinctive reasoning power begins to lose its self-confidence; as when we question what we ought to think about psychical research,†3 about the Gospels, about difficult questions of political economy,†4 about the constitution of matter;†5 or when we inquire by what methods we can most speedily advance our knowledge of such matters.
