The Human Good and ( the Function ) Argument

A debate Above, A debate Below...


The principal idea ( with which Aristotle begins )
is that there are differences of opinion about what
is best
( for human beings ), and that to profit
( from ethical inquiry ) we must resolve this
disagreement ..


ABOVE


Honesty
AKA
"Brittany"
Equality
AKA
"Jenny"



Equality: This is how these brothers usually begin.....

Honesty: These are learned men! Their debates are quite interesting to observe....

Equality: Others know what they seek... even this " discussion " will heat up soon...

Honesty: Heated argument is healthy for the mind of mankind.  Just visit any university...

Equality: Yes, but these debates, ( because of what these men seek ), are affected by
"outside influences", they should know about this!

Honesty: You are beginning to sound like Maria!  Men must seek The Truth and 
they will find The Truth in everything. These men are at WAR, but this war 
is that of the intellect. They wish to move in wisdom, so they strive to 
understand a lot of truth first.  These debates help  them "sparkle off 
of each other's minds".

Equality: Let us listen in...

Honesty: Yes...let's...


We are asking what " the good " for human beings is
not simply because we want to have knowledge, but
because we will be better able to achieve our good
if we develop a fuller understanding ( of what it
is to flourish ).

Brother Ezequiel Brother Ritter Brother Okafor



Brother Ezequiel: Our last meeting, Brother Thierry & Brother Rui were of the mind: 
"Get the locations first". Brother Ritter, Brother Okafor, you disagreed. Why?

Brother Ritter: What good are locations, if we don't know what we are to do with that information!

Brother Okafor: I feel, the locations may be of some importance, but I agree with Brother Ritter.
Locations can be anywhere, what I think is a better topic of discussion is, WHAT these locations
mean and WHAT we are to do there!

Brother Ezequiel: Brother Ritter, you are more for an " independent search " ? No?

Brother Ritter: Exactly! If we need locations, we fall into the hands of our rivals:
this will mean a ...  "we need them" - senario.

Brother Okafor: I understand. If we can figure out what the locations symbolize or what it is 
we are to do in each of the locations, we can then deduce where the locations are, later.

Brother Ezequiel: We have - OIA, GREECE - as one location, Brother Ritter......

Brother Ritter: I think we should go to Greece and continue our research - 
our group is very good at " finding what we need ".

Brother Okafor: History, climate, environment may play a part - Masters of Symbolism are at play!

Brother Ezequiel: To go to one location and not have the other two is like trying to 
ride a tricycle with one wheel!

Brother Ritter: Oh no, you did not!

Brother Okafor: Brothers! Both schemes can work!

Equality: You see! They almost went off on tangents again!

Honesty: True, but they are making progress ...

Equality: I will send them a clue ...

Honesty: I guess for the sake of "argument"... let me change that.... 
for the sake of their future progress, looking for this treasure, go ahead!
