Are there any particular strains in Catholic (presumably, scholastic) thought that have influence you? I find it interesting there's no mention of Positivism here! Or have you taken down the path of my project of producing a scholasticized positivism?
The 3 moral-political #philosophy traditions with strongest influence on me are Catholic, Marxist, and Ruist (Confucian). It’d make my life much easier if they agreed about more stuff? It’s like “why can’t mummy and daddy stop fighting?” but in a quirky queer polyamorous family.

The positivism is a subset of the Marxism! Augustine and Franciscan thought especially with the Catholics.

How much does the Marxist tradition have to say what is to be a good person on the individual-to-individual level? Catholicism certainly has an Aristotelian strain and seems like that could be blended Ruist thinking easier than with some traditions.

Seems like there's enough in common to be optimistic.

A lot of what folk like in humanism I take from Confucianism, which is often remarked to be an especially humanistic philosophy.
