Triadic philosophy is a specific method of taking seriously the idea of memorial maxims as an aid to arriving at actions and expressions which reduce harm, etc. Reading the books on the subject (google triadic philosophy plus my name) helps. I am posting here aphorisms from the initial book to possibly stimulate direct discussion. Voila.
3. The values of Triadic Philosophy form an index which can be best described by the term ethics. Triadic Philosophy understands ethics to be a sort of colander through which everything we consider must pass on the way to becoming a conscious act or expression. In terms of the root triad of Triadic Philosophy it is the Second element. 4. Triadic Philosophy begins with reality. Reality is not the other side of what is false. That is a binary mode of thinking that is the first error in the inherited philosophies that we call nominalist. In Triadic Philosophy reality is everything, everything we perceive and everything we don't perceive, everything we know, and everything we don't know. It is every scintilla of what is happening in our body down to microbes and quarks and it is everything we are not seeing or knowing everywhere else. The maelstrom of things that rise in the mind constitute the reality we are dimly aware of. It is our distinction as human beings to name things. And what we do when realities rise within us is capture them by names. If I think of Joan I am unable to easily explain what rose up in my mind to result in that choice, but choose I did. By naming realities we place them on the little assembly line that may eventuate in an act or expression. *@stephencrose <https://twitter.com/stephencrose>* On Sun, Jun 15, 2014 at 7:10 AM, Stephen C.
