Three Telos Model: Difference between revisions

The core concept is that there are three teloses or axiomatic end goals which are fundamentally incompatible with each other. Favoring any one telos comes at the expense of another.<ref>https://www.amazon.ca/Challenge-Democracy-American-Government-Politics/dp/1305954920</ref> In this way the model is an attempt to show how differing balances of core values result in different ideological positions.

ItWhile the origin of this model remains uncertain, a likely candidate is [[W:Rudolph Rummel|Rudolph Rummel's]] 1976 book [https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/TCH.CHAP31.HTM#3 Understanding Conflict and War, Vol. 2: The Conflict Helix]. There are some similarities to a concept described by [[W:Mary Douglas | Mary Douglas]] in her earlier book [[W:Natural Symbols | Natural Symbols]]. The Three Telos Model can be thought of as being [[W: M-theory#Dualities | dual]] to Douglas' [https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Cultural_theory_of_risk Grid-Group Cultural Theory] in the sense that each can be transformed in some way so that it ends up looking just like the other theory. There are some similarities in approach to [[W:Theory of Basic Human Values | Schwartz's Theory of Basic Human Values]] and [[W:Rokeach Value Survey | Rokeach's Value Survey]]. The [https://8values.github.io/ 8values] test is also very similar since it uses 3 of the Teloses in a four dimensional cartesian space.

There areis severalno slightcanonical variationsversion of thisthe model but they are similar enough to each other and distinct enough from other models to be grouped. A sample of various implementations by political pundits are in the following videos:
