Implementing Marxism via Aristotle, Huxley, and Chomsky: how Shannon’s character arc on Lost enabled me to complete my economic ethic.
- Why Andy
does not owe Daryll anything.
- Why Chuck
does not owe Jimmy anything.
- Why the
Parks do not owe the Kims anything.
- Why Sabrina
DOES owe Shannon something.
- How these four
are all possible at once, according to a system combining virtue ethics and
classical teleology with Marxist economics, (true conservatism and true
liberalism, respectively) especially according to the following appeals:
o
Common Goods versus Individual Status.
o
Achievement as Social Duty versus Personal Entitlement.
o
Social Duty as Collective Burden rather than
egocentric conceit.
o
Turning capital’s intrinsically individualizing
nature to a force of Common Good via the Virtue of Generosity.
o
The elimination of inherited guilt as nonconducive to
the Common Good.
o
The reaffirmation of inherited wealth as teleologically
purposive, as legacy, loyalty, love, and license towards the actualization of
positive potentialities, i.e. virtues and achievements.
