Completing the Life-Value Onto-Axiology Program
From Life-Ground to Living CoherenceBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 9m
About this audiobook
Can Life-Value Onto-Axiology become a practical, testable framework for guiding health care, education, economics, and governance? Building on John McMurtry’s life-value philosophy, Bichara Sahely develops the missing operational middle: a dynamic account of need, satisfiers, provision, assimilation, regulation, capacity, regenerative margin, and viability through time.
This Listener’s Edition translates the white paper’s figures, tables, and mathematical scaffold into clear spoken narration. It explores the fact–value bridge, life capital, civil commons, institutional accountability, nested consequences, falsifiable hypotheses, and safeguards against reductionism, metric gaming, and doctrinal closure. The result is an open research architecture grounded in three questions: Does this protect, restore, or enlarge life? What evidence would change our minds? Can we remain more loyal to reality than to coherence?
