ULTIMATELY THERE ARE ONLY THREE ETHICAL SYSTEMS





One is that of Buddhism and Christianity, which stresses the feminine virtues, considers all men to be equally precious, resists evil by doing good, identifies virtue with love, and is inclined in politics to unlimited democracy.

Another is the ethic of Machiavelli and Nietzsche, which stresses the masculine virtues, accepts the inequality of men, relishes the risks of combat and conquest and rule, identifies virtue with power, and exalts an hereditary aristocracy.

A third considers that only the informed and mature mind can judge, depending on circumstances, when love should rule or when power should. By identifying virtue the intelligent mind knows when to advocate for aristocracy or for democracy in government.
