0.0.5 Basic Approach
Version 1.0 July 2016 Previous Version
The
essence of this approach is:
|
1. To examine what we know,
what we don't know, and what we may never know,
in all areas of knowledge,
without restriction or prejudging;
2. To clarify the options
available to us,
to prepare for when we are
forced to make choices, to act or not act;
3. To choose, when we have
to, between the available options,
regardless of how incomplete or
confusing our knowledge may be;
4. To devise guidelines for
personal behaviour and political action,
justified by reference to what
we know and the options available;
5. To assemble this into
a comprehensive, coherent, consistent, compassionate course,
that we can label as our way ,
to cite, and to promote to others.
|
Too
much analysis is overwhelming. Sometimes we just choose a path randomly and
follow it blindly.
But as soon as we realise this
is the game we are playing, we lose the game. We cannot continue to pretend
that we're not thinking about why we choose. That means we're back into
analysis.
|
Many people will disagree with
the analysis presented here, the conclusions and value choices, but
still agree with the approach, and join the discussion.

A comprehensive Way
Here we explain how the totality of human knowledge fits together
in a reasonable way that helps us to be more fulfilled and prosper globally.
A spiritual Way
We discuss how we should interpret so called spiritual
experiences, which are real but are frequently misinterpreted.
A faith based Way
Even hard core Sceptics and Atheists have to have some faith, in the
value of reason, and so on.Ā We discuss how a minimal faith can lead to
fulfilling lives, while retaining our rationality and grip on reality.
A community Way
We show how adopting this way can lead to a community of
like-minded people, who are reasonable, not off with the fairies, practical,
living fulfilling lives, and political, addressing the major critical issues of
our time, all with a sense of a shared reality – a community!
This Reasonable Global Way covers a wider scope than
traditional religions, and is a better basis for belief, value and action than alternative
philosophies.
