Introduction
This book aims to present an ethical system that arises from the interaction of two ethical laws: Eleutherianism (EL), a form of deontology, and Hermanism (H), a form of consequentialism. My critique of the principle of the will of Kantian deontology creates Eleutherianism. The interaction between the metaphysics of intuition and the definition of the good will creates Hermanism. It is a consequentialism that serves to be the judge morality while Eleutherianism serves as the guide. ELH, or Eleutherian Hermanism is the abbreviation of the two laws’ implications and interactions. This is created with the knowledge of what is good from the judge morality and of our duties from the guide morality. The Judge informs the guide and the guide informs the judge in a learning process until we have mapped out the best practices for how to achieve morality from the good will.
Necessary Definitions for Clarity
Here are some definitions of terms I use in the rest of the book:
A first order duty is defined as the immediate choice an actor makes in setting themselves up with a moral choice. This is character. It is the activity of duty of the subject. The second order duty is the construction of the moral space to create the best outcome morally through both restricted choice and freedom. These are also the agent based constructions of duty. This is done by creating a space where it is easier to get the best outcome; It is also the agent's influence on a subject. The logistics of morality. Amicology or the theory of the 2nd order space is the container of this construction. The third order duty is the construction of the moral spaces and the interaction between spaces. This is the ideology of society or the construction of the laws of the nation state. The fourth order duty is the construction of the moral space between ideologies or the meta-ideology of interactions between any two differing ideologies. The 4th order duty can be anything from the duty of the federal government to the states, and vice versa, or the duty between religions or creeds that differ on fundamental grounds.
History is defined as the past circumstances of the reality that is under consideration for the decisions of the adjudicatory process of the good will. The actual adjudicatory process will come later in the book.
Subjective causes are anything that uses a will to cause something. The subjective cause of my writing is my will to write.
Objective causes are the material reality that cause me to have an opportunity to cause something. An objective cause for my writing is my computer.
Immediate forms of attribution are things that take credit for actions of the 1st order. The purchase of an item has an immediate form of attribution. It tells us the subjective cause of this was your decision to purchase. The immediate objective cause is the object that allows for something to occur such as the money that you used to purchase something.
Historical forms of attribution is the existence of history as a cause in something. This could be all the influence on the subject of upbringing, mores, society, or anything that comes from history that played a part in providing the objective or subjective cause. These are the causes of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order.
Existential forms of attribution are those which caused you or the thing to be in existence. Your mother and father are responsible for your existence. So is any ancestor. A person who saved your life is an existential objective cause of anything you do after that. These causes deal with timing. A great inventor is the existential subjective cause of the invention. A subjective cause becomes an objective cause after the decision has materialized. A decision to buy a house is the subjective cause of what happens in that house but the house itself is the objective historical cause.
Culpa is the assignment of cause for purposes of blame or credit. It is both harm and benefit and is used to describe one or the other.
Cosán is the deductive future from wills or laws. It is used to describe the future from knowledge of activity of any order.
Method is the description of the objects that are all involved in the action. For murder, it can be stabbing, shooting, or strangling. This is the objects interacting with each other.
Remedy is the change that occurs after crime to prevent harm from continuously occurring.
Scope is the aim of the action and its continued effects before remedy.
Constraints are things that are impossible or hard to change within a system. The laws of physics are a real constraint of science. Human error is a subjective constraint of democracy. Yellow cake is an objective constraint of creating a nuclear weapon. Monarchy is a historical constraint of the British empire.
Aji is the term used to define something that comes from the position or constraints of a subject. It is the circumstance's effect on the subject or the aim guided by the circumstance before the action. Dinner party aji is when the subject determines what is acceptable behavior from the circumstances and acts accordingly.
Adjudication is the process by which something is decided from constraints or impositions. Social mores, systems of justice, and warfare are all examples of adjudication. The mores may decide who gets something first, such as a line of customers. A system of justice may decide who wins a court case. Warfare is the ultimate example of power adjudication.
Oppression is the term to define anything that prevents the subject from being moral for themselves or their agents. It is the prevention of good action for the subject to behave morally.
Atoms are a subset of a larger calculus as containers of activity. In the metaphysics portion, “atomically” is used to talk about the A Priori aims of the good will. The good will wills good on humans atomically. If there is a failure of higher order duties, or the constraints of reality forces it, the good will makes a choice according to the ELH calculus. This is done through a combination of the atoms and then the adjudicatory process of the good will or the ELH calculus according to theories of good.
Agents are both will and subject, subject and object, and are viewed as representations of their system of agents. A system of agents is the group of which the mores are a part of. This is a main atom of how mores shape character and culture.
APD or A Priori definition is the knowledge of the category by which phenomena is extracted. The APD of survival being the furthering of the subject.
WC or without circumstances is the term by which an action is evaluated without circumstances that alter the moral nature of the action.
