ABSTRACT

This chapter expands upon key elements of the theory. It devotes to a more detailed analysis of the two criteria of intrinsic judgments-'seeing through to the real'and 'variety and complexity'and offers two related justifications for having them be the core of the moral theory. It proposes that self-deception helps explain how doing the wrong thing lies not in will-fully rejecting the good, but rather in will-fully not making sufficient effort to be aware. The obligation to have a heightened awareness applies to as individuals and to as part of social and cultural structures and institutions. Socialism or communism have admirable moral foundations, and it is important to have people who are committed to them be provided a place to live according to these principles. Developing new forms of inquiry and expression to capture an expansive reality continues to assure the variety and complexity of contexts and places. Biological and ecological diversity is certainly important to the quality of life.
