How about some Fowles?

Just posted an essay about John Fowles’s excellent & inspiring ARISTOS project:

”Throughout the book Fowles examines the uneasy marriage between order and chaos. He regards humanity’s desire for structure as vital but dangerous—vital because it makes civilization possible, dangerous because it hardens into tyranny. Systems, whether political or philosophical, are the graveyards of life when they refuse change. The living world, he writes, is organic, not mechanical; it breathes and transforms. So must thought. Just as nature evolves, the moral imagination must remain fluid. The ideal order is rhythmic rather than rigid, capable of change without collapse. The free individual embodies that principle—centered enough to withstand uncertainty, flexible enough to grow through it. Integrity replaces conformity as the highest virtue.”
