Zen and the Art of Neoconservatism

by | Jun 18, 2005 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

From Kevin Carson’s neocon lexicon/guide to inner peace:

Moral Relativism. Aka historicism. The denial of any unified, objective standard of value. The diametric opposite of Moral Equivalence (q.v.).

Moral Equivalence. Judgment of the United States government by the same unified, objective standard of value as the governments of other countries. The diametric opposite of Moral Relativism (q.v.).

Moral Clarity. The Zen-like state of mind from which it is possible to accuse the same political enemy, simultaneously, of both Moral Relativism and Moral Equivalence.
