Phronetics and Action

In the Formaterial System, the Formal and Material Principles are of equal value, so, likewise, Propriation and Exposition, and e. g. Reflection and Locomotility, are of equal value in the Individual. In other words, the bearer of Phronetic value in the System is Evolvement, i. e. a way that Propriation and Exposition combine. In contrast, traditional Moralities have been based on the denigration, if not neglect, of Diversification. For, they are ultimately programs designed to correct presumed human imperfection, with static Unity as their criterion of Perfection. So, their determinations of the Moral Value of an act must abstract from the very performance of an Action, which is the Becoming-Diverse of the performer, and is, therefore, antithetical to their Ideal. But, where Evolvement is a governing Principle, Diversification is an essential ingredient in that Principle, which means that one's performance of an Action is not merely not antithetical to Phronetic Value, but its ultimate bearer.
