| Quick thought on the way things could be |
[Jun. 12th, 2008|12:31 am] |
If there's one set of things I wish everybody was properly educated on in the world it's
1. an awareness of perception and abstraction in relation to objective reality (an under appreciated foundation of knowledge and understanding),
2. relativism and the implications and inevitability of interdependence (for tolerance of differences), and
3. generalism with emphasis on analogy (to make similarities more obvious).
I want to say they should be as important as morals. What's funny is that Wikipedia describes morals in the main section on ethics as "a practice of different sorts of ethics (or Weltanschauung)"... Weltanschauung being the word of German philosophy that we got worldview from, an idea heavily observed in item 1 on my list.
I believe these things would help promote a wiser, more effective and tolerant global society.
And all these things are significant core values of systems theory. |
