THE PROBLEM OF CONDUCT

HOW SHOULD ONE BEHAVE ?


HEDONISM - SEEK PLEASURE, AVOID PAIN
EPICUREANISM - AVOID EXTREMES
PRAGMATISM - CONFORM
VIRTUE - COOPERATE WITH THE DIVINE PLAN
     (STOICS)
SUBMIT TO GOD'S WILL (NEOPLATONISM, JUDAEO-CHRISTIAN TRADITION)


THE PROBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE (CONT'D)

NEOPLATONISM - ALL KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM
     THE ONE (GOD, SPIRIT), CONTEMPLATION (INTROSPECTION) IS THE ROUTE 
	TO TRUTH
     CHRISTIANITY - INCORPORATES NEOPLATONISM

(((A POLITICAL/CULTURAL INTERLUDE
     WESTERN EUROPE INVADED
     THE MONASTERIES
     THE CELTIC FRINGE
     GRADUAL SOLIDIFICATION, E.G.,
          NORMANDY,SICILY,CHARLEMAGNE
     CRUSADES)))

THE GRADUAL RETURN OF REASON 
FAITH AND REASON 
     ANSELM - IF YOU CAN THINK ABOUT GOD, HE MUST EXIST.  SOUND FAMILIAR ?
     KNOW GOD THRU HIS WORKS
     NOMINALISM
     ARISTOTELIANISM - AQUINAS
