DGB Rational-Empiricism and The Multi-Dialectical Cycle

Ethical idealism should be part of a cyclical pattern of: 1. reason -- a combination of sensory experience and sound interpretive logic; 2. humanism -- self and social compassion; 3. existentialism -- self and social responsibility/accountability; 4. realism -- a combination of what really exists and what is practical to implement; and 5. action -- meaning action taken to dialectically bridge the gap between ethical idealism and realism. This is what I call (in long form): 'DGB Multi-Dialectic-Rational-Empirical-Idealistic-Realistic-Humanistic-Existential Philosophy'. Try saying that twice in a row real fast.
