Purity versus Puritanical

An integration is a purity which avoids and transcends a puritanical moralistic structure and/or personal reaction. It is the rational consideration of morals that simultaneously recognizes that for human beings (and even for some other animal species)  there actually is a canon of sensitivity and respect for the Other. An integration graciously avoids the tendency toward mere dualism in morals and thus is a Trinity-Unity of right-wrong and ethics.

[ Ethics X (Right X Wrong) ]

An integration avoids puritanism by insisting that all relevant viewpoints be considered including the consideration that a human canon of ethics actually exists in a particular right-wrong situation. Thus it may actually generally agree with a traditional moral stance and yet its inclusive conceptual ethic becomes a more refined analysis and will tend to avoid both the reactionary harshness often associated with moral dualism and its equally problematic tendency toward orthodox rigidity. Hence it is a higher Trinity-Unity-Purity instead of a mere and often harsh Puritan Duality.
