Metaphysics of Quality

The Metaphysics of Quality is a philosophical idea that emphasizes the importance of intrinsic value and moral excellence in understanding reality. It suggests that quality—elements like goodness, beauty, and truth—are fundamental to existence, rather than just subjective opinions or raw facts. According to this view, the world is shaped by the interplay of higher qualities (such as moral virtue) and lower qualities (like physical matter), with quality acting as a guiding principle in how things develop and are evaluated. It encourages seeing the universe as driven by a continuum of quality, influencing our judgments and understanding of reality.
