Question #36 – What is apithology’s greatest ethic?

There is a simple and a profound answer to this question. In fact, the simple answer may be profound and the profound answer simple (once both are known).

The simple answer to apithology’s greatest ethic is the respect it has for personal meaning.

In a humanity perspective on thought, all that people find meaningful, in their many expressions, is in a way contributive to humanity becoming. This includes the pathological. In a system of generative dependencies, to discard, diminish or discount meaning made is to not understand how generative potentials form or how to care for them.

While there are topical narratives around breakthroughs, breakdowns, disruptions, triggerings, cascades, dismantlings, impactings, unlockings, and abandonings, in a humanity-centric inquiry, the thing most are trying to break is what comprises the totality. The generative does not require the destruction of the existent, merely because it is a contrasting counterpart.

The more profound answer is apithology, as a generativist philosophy, does not have a single ethic and at its most expansive level has a set of ethical principles that operate as a tension of relations. To hold one, one must hold all, so as to hold all, as one.

The metaphor would be more of the weave of an open vessel, that contains all without defining every instance. This alleviates the need for a conversation on the dominance of one view in a universalisation to be adopted as a single perspective.

Also, because apithology’s horizon of inquiry is novel, you would probably not be familiar with any of the ethics (except perhaps innately as a participant in humanity). Most of what you do, may already be contrary, and so is done unconsciously.

It is important to appreciate that apithology at its centre is an ethical philosophy, so an embodiment of its ethical conduct is central to its understanding. It is important to learn how to hold this. This is simply because talking about the generative while undertaking the dissipative will be a prompt for self-repeating dissonance. We try not to do that.

This tension, of how do you change the horizon of available meaning for all persons, while honouring and cherishing all meaning making held, is one of the more beautiful tensions in a generativist philosophy.
