Western man, like eastern man, is poly-philosophical.

UPPER – TRUTH – RULE – FORCE

  1. Aristotle’s Law of truth, The Common Law, and The Martial Law of those who rule: aristocracy.

MIDDLE – UTILITY – COOPERATION – TRADE

  1. The Host of Middle Class Philosophers myths of aspiration for cooperation,

  2. Aesop and the Nordic, Celtic, and Germanic Myths of household wisdom,

LOWER – NECESSITY – INSURANCE – GOSSIP

  1. Aquinas and the Nazarene’s philosophy of poverty, suffering, and hope.

It is not a mystery that these philosophies roughly correspond to the IQ distribution. Both out of ability and out of utility.
