Usufruct Collective<p>Volition exists on a continuum in the ecological world (Bookchin 2022). Robust self-management of each and all has specific requisite qualities when it comes to political economic beings and political economic institutions. The political, economic, and social virtues of freedom and equality require each other as well as a gestalt of other institutional and relational virtues to flourish. For some examples: 1. There needs to be direct democracy so that collectives can make direct collective decisions through deliberation. 2. There needs to be both a form and content of horizontality so that collectives and individuals are free from hierarchy, domination, exploitation, and oppression and by extension able to self-determine their lives. 3. There needs to be free association so that persons and collectives choose their associations and activities. 4. There needs to be rights and duties in relation to self-management so that there are guaranteed freedoms for collectives and persons and duties towards such freedoms. 5. Self-management on every political economic scale entails communal and inter-communal self-management and the means thereof (Usufruct Collective 2022). The above qualities can be adapted and elaborated according to relevant variables while retaining their essential features. *** The above is a non-exhaustive account of political economic virtues (such political economic virtues being subsets of institutional virtues more broadly), a non-exhaustive account of what they consist of and entail, and a non-exhaustive account of reasons justifying them as such. </p><p>Institutional virtues include but are by no means limited to the political, economic, and social virtues of direct democracy, horizontality, free association, communality, and intercommunality/federalism. Institutional virtues also include qualities such as mutual-aid distributive justice, justice more broadly (justice as related to the criteria of freedom and equality), practical reasoning (phronesis on an organizational and collective level), wise development and use of technics (techne), deliberative/communicative virtues, the virtue of unity in diversity, etc. Various virtues that Aristotle described–such as phronesis, techne, episteme, and justice– are not reducible to being mere properties of persons; they can also be properties of collectives.</p><p>Institutional and relational qualities can shape one another and can round one another out. For some examples: direct democracy with a form and content of horizontality is distinct from direct democracy that is entangled with hierarchy, domination, exploitation, and oppression. Direct democracy without deliberative/communicative virtues will negatively impact decision making and decisions made. Communal self-management without federalism and intercommunal mutual-aid can lead to and/or be caused by vices of parochialism and xenophobia. Self-managed production without distribution according to needs leads to distributive injustice. Horizontality without free association would inhibit the kinds of options people should have about what groups they join and what activities they do. The right kind of equality in the right ways is distinct from equality of squalor or equal rights to compete within an unjust/hierarchical system. Institutional virtues are the right kinds of specific qualities, in the right ways, in the right contexts, for the right ends. Some good institutional qualities can develop lopsidedly, yet only be made sufficiently virtuous through the mutual flourishing of multiple institutional virtues as a gestalt. Sometimes an institutional quality may merely approximate the virtue thereof rather than be sufficiently virtuous– and sometimes this happens because it is not rounded out by other institutional and/or relational virtues and gradations thereof. And even when an institutional quality is sufficiently good enough to be virtuous, it does not make it perfectly/ideally virtuous; virtuous qualities can be further rounded out and are in need of being developed overtime and recreated in differentiated and emerging contexts. And even in a good-enough society, there are additional good institutional and relational virtues that can be developed. </p><p><a href="https://usufructcollective.wordpress.com/2023/07/18/gestalt-of-the-good-2023-remix/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">usufructcollective.wordpress.c</span><span class="invisible">om/2023/07/18/gestalt-of-the-good-2023-remix/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/normativeethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>normativeethics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/politicalphilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politicalphilosophy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/virtues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>virtues</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/virtueethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>virtueethics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>equality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/moralrealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moralrealism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/libertariansocialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libertariansocialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/libertariancommunism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libertariancommunism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialecology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dialectics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dialectics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dialecticalnaturalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dialecticalnaturalism</span></a></p>
