What is morality but a median point?
We observe universally and intuitively the symmetry between morality and moderation:
- “A man shouldn't hold onto the cup but drink in moderation” (Oden/Norse paganism)
- “the end we are seeking is what we have been doing” (burger, nichomachean ethics)
- Similiarities to Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and the doctrine of a golden mean.[33]
- Aristotelian concept of virtue requiring both contemplative (abstract) and moral (physical) properties [14]
- Schopenhauer: "For safeguarding the lives of citizens…capital punishment is therefore absolutely necessary"[53] "The murderer…who is condemned to death according to the law must, it is true, be now used as a mere means, and with complete right. For public security, which is the principal object of the State, is disturbed by him; indeed it is abolished if the law remains unfulfilled. The murderer, his life, his person, must be the means of fulfilling the law, and thus of re-establishing public security."[54] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer
- The median of Man and Nature within Taoism [60] expressed through the Temple of the Golden Measure in Baoji, Shaanxi (quote)
- Identity and harmony organized through virtue [115] (Taoism)
- Anaximander’s observation of anything that loses it’s symmetry with nature eventually ceases. (anaximander wiki?)
- "But the impious Soul abideth in its own offence, punished of itself, and seeking an earthly and humane body to enter into." Trismegistus www.sacred-texts.com/eso/pym/pym05.htm
- "Gravitation, which is a law in the material world, is the impulse toward the center of materiality; levitation, which is a law in the spiritual world, is the impulse toward the center of spirituality." (http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta21.htm)
- "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
biblehub.com/galatians/6-7.htm
- “The constellation of the Scales was placed in the zodiac to symbolize the power of choice, by means of which man may weigh one problem against another.” (The Zodiac, insert sacred Texts)
- - The concept of moderation in Islam: www.quranreading.com/blog/the-co ... -in-islam/
- "Aztec philosophers focused on morality as establishing balance. The world was seen as constantly shifting with the ever-changing teotl. Morality focused on finding the path to living a balanced life, which would provide stability in the shifting world.[2]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_philosophy
- “Indian Thinking” is “seeing” things from a perspective emphasiz-ing that circles and cycles are central to the world and that all
things are related within the universe. . . . “Seeing” is visualizing the connection between two or more entities or beings, and trying
to understand the relationship between them. (1–2)
"There is another very curious and interesting fact in Indian philosophy. They do not separate man from the beast by any
broad line of demarkation [sic]. Mankind is supposed simply to be one of the many races of animals; in some respects superior, in many others inferior, to those races. So the Indian speaks of “our race” as of the same rank with the bear race, the wolf race or the rattlesnake race. (10) (http://sunypress.edu/pdf/62007.pdf)
