%RELATIONSHIPS AMONG IDEALS 850504
Atoms and molecules are the consequences of the
possible relationships among electrons, protons, and
neutrons; i.e., expressions of the possibilities implied
in the kinds of relationships into which such elementary
parts may enter. The elementary parts are not changed by
entering into such relationships. An electron after being
part of an atom is no different than it was before being a
part of an atom. Its potential relationships remain
unchanged.
Relationships exist among the ideals which people
embody. Some of those relationships are in the nature of
conflict, others in the nature of mutual support. Some
ideals are mutually exclusive. Others are mutually
interdependent and mutually inclusive. There are
instrumental ideals which play an essential role in
supporting ultimate ideals. There are ideals which
facilitate the evaluation of other ideals.
The relationships among people are related to the
relationships among the ideals which the people embody.
Such relationships among people participate in the nature
of the relationships among the ideals which the people
embody: conflict, mutual support, mutual exclusion,
instrumental, facilitation of evaluation. This is true of
other representations of ideals: literature, drama,
ritual, dogma, institutions, cultures, nations, mentors,
exemplars, teachers, etc.
Unlike the elementary constituents of atoms and their
inter-relationships the inter-relationships among ideals
and their embodiments do not remain unchanged throughout
the relationships and embodiments. The elementary
constituents are changed through participation in the
relationships; perhaps even created by them. The nature
of the inter-relationships also change in the course of
the dynamic process.
To understand human conflict and behavior and
reflection it may help to reflect upon the inter-
relationships and processes of change in which humans and
their ideals participate in mutually inter-creative ways.
This will involve reflection upon the diverse ways in
which such realities are embodied and otherwise
represented in the process of creating and seeking to
understand, predict and control them.
