An interesting point. Many of these assessments are arguably subconscious and/or inculcated.
Some philosophies aspire to as few fundamental guiding principles as possible. Such a structure tends to improve self-consistency.
Other philosophies allow a broader mix of principles, sometimes in tension, which require considerable subjective discussion to untangle. Perhaps one could say these philosophies value human discussion as a core principle from which meaning is constructed.
- taeric 5y agoI am not up to date on philosophies. What little I have learned over the years has waned in my mind such that I don't trust I have it right. That said "these philosophies value human discussion as a core principal" really resonates with me. I don't like policies that are designed to be enforced without the people involved interacting with each other in some form. Again, yes there are some straw men that we should burn down when they appear, but I have a hard time with policies pushed in a "zero tolerance" fashion.
