First off, I’m four square for system’s analysis and science, let’s make that clear. However, the ideas, that is the operant ideas also known as paradigms, are what are most important, powerful and effective for change, and not just for identifying problems but rather for solutions. They are also the ultimate guide posts with which analysts need to formulate policy. Last but not least we need to discover what the concept behind EVERY historical paradigm change has been because that would be the ultimate and mega-paradigm concept, …and the prelude to a new zeitgeist/ethic of a new age which is the only level of analysis above the paradigmatic, and being a new ethic…directs, morally demands and keeps us focused on policies/temporal universe actions…that are aligned with that new ethic.
And what might the concept behind every paradigm change that leads to the new zeitgeist be? Why the natural philosophical/ethical concept of grace as in love in ACTION. Too simple and (supposedly) anti-science for I understand are the well intentioned but centuries long acculturated intellectual vanities of the erudite…too simple not to be the new paradigm and the new zeitgeist as well.
So lets leave god out of this for the moment, utilize science which is wonderful, necessary and delicious…and exists entirely within the digestive tract of the superlative intellectual discipline of Wisdom and just focus on creating a world aligned with grace.
