Series: Virtues as Triple Helix Formation


  • Virtues as Triple Helix Formation part 1: The Primacy of Magnanimity

    The journey through Reason’s triple helix commences with Magnanimity, the first perfective virtue, which is to say it is the skill in reason to do with realistic self-image. This virtue springs from the moment of Awareness in Honesty, born of extended moderation in the Eros domain of Resurrexit phenomenology. It is here that individuals recognise…

  • Understanding Honour as a Moral Compass Honour, the second perfective virtue, manifests from Reason’s divide between Spiritual and Material. It is devotion to an advantageous moral ordering, determined by culture, education, and experience. This virtue, nurtured through Love, aligns actions with deeply held values despite any external resistance. It measures the self against moral ideals,…

  • Understanding Temperance: The Balance of Pride Temperance evolves out of a certain moral comfort in identity, ordering pride to evoke more measured responses to change. It is a humility born of self-knowledge, a balance achieved through Honesty’s Propriety moment. This virtue measures the world and the self, increasing order through pride in that equilibrium in…

  • Unbreakable Bonds of Virtuous Loyalty as Defined within Triple Helix Formation Loyalty, the fourth virtue, evolves naturally from ordered pride and budding mastery in the moments of the Honesty aspect in Reason. Loyalty, as a virtue skill, can often prove very hard won, especially these days when trusting people are liable to be burned a…

  • Triunal Nature of Reason’s Definition Explained Through Triple Helix Formation in Virtues In all human abilities, Reason stands as maestro, conducting three threading aspects: Honesty, Analysis, and Perseverance.

It is not some distant or unattainable form of perfection, but rather a never-ending and active attaining work to align…

  • Why Patience is a Virtue Patience is the remembrance of the identifications of others and who they must be, implying an immediate forgiveness above and beyond mere magnanimity. Through Perseverance’s moment of Awareness, Patience accepts delays due to differences, based in the realisation of how little is controllable. It is not passive resignation but active…

  • Conservation of Highest Values Conservation fulfils the promises inherent in Temperance and Excellence, marking the completion of Propriety’s moment. The onset of Conservation signals the first wholeness in Reason’s journey. It is the realisation that virtues must be preserved and nurtured, not just acquired. Seven, the quintessence of Life, embodies this virtue, turning division towards…

  • What is the Meaning of a Prudent Life? Prudence is the wisdom of worthiness and valuation of meaning; the appreciation of values through skill in Propriety’s three virtues. It requires the greater identifications of others and universals, a broadened perspective gained only through life experience to do with the Eros domain of Resurrexit theory. Through…

  • Understanding the Virtuous Cycle in Symphony The triple helix of Honesty, Analysis, and Perseverance is the symphony that plays through every virtuous act. Each aspect provides a unique rhythm and melody that together form a harmonious whole, allowing the mind to function with clarity. The Awareness moment begins this symphony where Reason’s remembrance starts the…
