    Its a delicate balance. Too little structures and life is incoherent. Too much structure and you end up with a moral code instead of a pragmatics that's relativistic enough to effectively construe other ways of thinking without resorting to prejudgment.

    I’ve encountered him mainly through mentions on forums. He seems worth knowing about, he’s on my ‘must get around to reading’ list. (Right now I’m reading Raimundo Panikkar who is an interfaith philosophical theologian.)

    Is a moral code necessarily wrong, if that is what one believes and acts accordingly? Supposing that there are some truths that are not relative to an individual, then using those would not be bad. But if one is wrong in supposing a truth to be absolute, then that is where the problem rests. In other words, humility ought to be a trait that is ingrained.
