The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

Social Philosophy: Individual vs. The State: A Few Thoughts 01

Here are a few thoughts from the Consistency Argument regarding the nature of the State vs. an individual:

Freedom and private property are total, indivisible concepts that are compromised wherever and whenever the State exists.

Since all things are related to one another in our complicated social world, if one man's freedom or private property may be violated (regardless of the justification), then every man's freedom and property are insecure.

The superior man can only be sure of his freedom if the inferior man is secure in his rights.
