Three Telos Model: Difference between revisions

===Semantics===

There is a lot of debate about what the best term to use for each of the three teloses is. It is also possible that there is no perfect word in English to describe each concept due to the nuance. The goal is that each is a in dependent and incompatible principle component of the space of values. This directly implies the necessity for the tradeoffs described by the metric space.

The concept of freedom is quite well defined in the liberal tradition which arose from the enlightenment. Some academics prefer to define this component as individualism or autonomy. Other academics prefer to define it by its inverse of authoritarianism. <ref>Stenner, K. (2005). ''The Authoritarian Dynamic''. Cambridge University Press. 13-27.</ref> All three components have an inverse where the person does not subscribe to the Telos at all. This would correspond to a whole side of the triangle since there are more ways to not follow a telos than there are to follow one.

===Decomposition===

Many familiar concepts can be ~~expresses~~ as a decomposed aspect of the three teloses. Each telos has a different meaning in different context<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344201284_Four_Galore_The_Overlap_between_Mary_Douglas's_Grid-Group_Typology_and_Other_Highly_Cited_Social_Science_Classifications</ref> and the theory holds that each context should be able to be decomposed into three differing stances which align with each telos.
