Ethical Complementarity -- A Complementarian Moral Theory

[M Winther]

"Ethical Complementarity -- A Complementarian Moral Theory"

Abstract:The article argues that the principle of complementarity, as
employed in quantum physics, is also relevant to moral philosophy. The
moral of the heart is complementary to an entropic morality, which
identifies disorder as evil. The Augustinian and Neoplatonic view of
evil as privation is identified with modern principles of
thermodynamics. Although it is untenable as a monist moral principle, it
becomes functional as a complementary opposite of moral evil. This has a
bearing on the ideal of Self; the ideal nature and conduct of
personality.

Keywords: privatio boni, entropy, disorder, self, theodicy, Plotinus, St
Augustine, Carl Jung.

Looks rather convoluted to me. Would you please explain the point you
want to make in a few sentences of simple English? For example, "I
want everyone to be Christian", or "I want everyone to think that men
and women (whites and blacks, Christians and Muslims) should have
unequal rights"; or whatever it is that you are trying to get across.
