        %INTEGRATIVE IDEALS COHERENCE CONFLICT SELF 960509

     Truly  integrative  ideals  and  values  are  not  in
conflict among themselves.    Ideals and values which  are
in  conflict  among themselves---are not  all  integrative
ideals  and values.   For ideals  and  values  to  promote
integrity they must themselves be coherent.

     Truly integrative ideals  and  values  are not easily
misinterpreted  in ways which generate  conflicts  between
people who interpret them differently.   Ideals and values
which  are  easily  interpreted  in  ways  which  generate
conflicts  among people who interpret them  differently---
are  ideals and values which promote disintegration;   not
integration.

     Truly  integrative  ideals and values are not  easily
abused  with impunity by violent people seeking to  be  in
control  of  other people.   Ideals and values  which  are
easily  abused  with  impunity  as  tools  with  which  to
manipulate, coerce,  and/or do violence to other people---
are ideals and values which promote dis-integration;   not
integration.

     Truly integrative ideals and values do not  originate
in the human  creation of new scientific knowledge  and/or
the human development of  new techniques and technologies.
Ideals  and  values  which  do  originate  in  the   human
development of new  scientific  knowledge and/or the human
development of new techniques and technologies---are often
the  idolatrous  foci of  technocrats  who  do  not  enjoy
personal and communal integrity---because  such people are
preoccupied   with  human  manipulative   procedures   and
technologies.
