“Under the discipline of unity, knowledge and morality come together. No longer can we have that paltry 'objective' knowledge so prized by the academic specialists. To know anything at all becomes a moral predicament. Aware that there is no such thing as a specialized effect, one becomes responsible for judgments as well as facts. Aware that as an agricultural scientist he had 'one great subject,' Sir Albert Howard could no longer ask, What can I do with what I know? without at the same time asking, How can I be responsible for what I know?” KnowsWellsFactsTogetherAsksMoralSubjectsEffectsDisciplineMoralityJudgmentScientistAskingResponsibleUnityObjectivesAcademicBeing ResponsibleSpecialistsPredicaments Book:The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture Source: The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture

“Morality is neither rational nor absolute nor natural. World has known many moral systems, each of which advances claims universality; all moral systems are therefore particular, serving a specific purpose for their propagators or creators, and enforcing a certain regime that disciplines human beings for social life by narrowing our perspectives and limiting our horizons.” WorldHumansPurposeCertainSocialNaturalHuman BeingsKnownMoralParticularPerspectiveDisciplineMoralityClaimsAbsolutesCreatorRationalServingHorizonRegimesNatural WorldSocial LifeUniversality Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“The more truthful I am with myself and others, the more my conscience is clear and tranquil. Thus, I can more thoroughly and unequivocally inhabit the present moment and accept everything that happens without fear, knowing that what goes around comes around (the law of karma). Ethical morality and self-discipline represent the good ground, or stable basis. Mindful awareness is the skillful and efficacious grow-path, or way.

“There never was a strong character that was not made strong by discipline of the will; there never was a strong people that did not rank subordination and discipline among the signal virtues.

“Man can learn self-discipline without becoming ascetic; he can be wise without waiting to be old; he can be influential without waiting for status.

“The natural sciences are sometimes said to have no concern with values, nor to seek morality and goodness, and therefore belong to an inferior order of things. Counter-claims are made that they are the only living and dynamic studies... Both contentions are wrong. Language, Literature and Philosophy express, reflect and contemplate the world. But it is a world in which men will never be content to stay at rest, and so these disciplines cannot be cut off from the great searching into the nature of things without being deprived of life-blood.” MenWorldMadeSaidSometimesPhilosophyScienceValuesOrderLiteratureLanguageNaturalStudyCuttingBloodDisciplineMoralityGoodnessConcernClaimsContemplatingInferiorsDeprivedContentionNatural ScienceEnquiry Author:Cyril Norman Hinshelwood
