                   %APPRAISING IDEALS' INCARNATIONS 861211

     The  presence of articulations of ideals  on  printed
pages  or computer records makes little difference  unless
they thereby become incarnate in people who are  committed
to  the  ideals  and  the  pattern  of  values  which they
represent.    All verbal articulations are but one mode of
communication of ideals and values from one incarnation to
another incarnation.   Communication also powerfully flows
through role models who teach through examples of behavior
which  fulfill  the  ideals and so fulfill the  supportive
system of values.

     People  who share a common set of ideals  and  values
naturally  appraise how well their behaviors fulfill their
commitments.   To the extent that they care about and  for
each other  with  mutuality,  such  appraisals  are  self-
referential;    essentially  non-objective   because   the
appraisals  refer  to self and to others about  whom  self
cares. Attempts to  achieve  the ideal of  objectivity  in
such appraisals reveal the lack of integrity and coherence
in  the  system of ideals;  for scientific objectivity  is
logically self contradictory in self appraisal.
