The essence of wrong doing is fanaticism and other kind of firmness in principles. But also lack of principles and openness towards everything may go wrong.

True criticism and Freedom
There is no such thing as true criticism without a concept of freedom.
The essence of Power and Emancipation
The essence of power is the mother’s power towards the infant child, and the child’s fight for emancipation towards the parents. This is the first power relation and an existential dimention of emancipation. The core part of power is care, and the core part og emancipation is the fight against care.
The essence of Political wisdom
The essence of political wisdom is the ability to sight the community as a whole. This presupposes a cosmological view (Theoria). An ability to stay on the top of the world and gaiz the society through omniscientic eyes. In the old story about Prometheus and Epimetheus, Prometheus gives the humans the godly ability to handle fire and the arts, but he could not steal the political wisdom from Zevs. Still, human has the possibility to know the different between personal and common interests, but we end up to be novis when it comes to political wisdom. There is no political wisdom without metaphysic and the “not being in the world”.
The essence of a term
To know a term is to use it wisely
by knowing its history
its power
its misuse
That is to gasp the wordly form and turn it into matter
Wisdom and emotions
Emotions are full of wisdom, and wisdom is full of emotions.
Synthetic intuition
Synthetic intuition is based on the Aristotelic knowing of Form. Without such a synthetic intuition the world would just be pieces of objects without connections and with no pattern of normative or aesthetical meaning. It is not possible to be in the world in a proper way, without the notion of eidos.
External evaluation is not part of a helping relationship
To evaluate others worldview is a kind of terror.
What the other will learn is to evaluate others.
To evaluate, is to destroy your inner freedom of being.
Acceptance or control
To accept is be satisfied with what you have, without being satisfied. It is a denial of desire, but also a desire to deny yourself something. To accept yourself is an active will to be strong in your self. To be king in yourself, without mastering or controll. To accept your feeling is to act with them, it is not to solve the feelings. To accept others are to meet other without assessment or evaluation. Assessment or evaluation is not part of a helping relationship, it is a will to controll others. Accept and sophrosyne is the ground of becoming good. This is as close as possible to freedom as the opposite of control. To accept is letting go of the desire to control.
Harmony, Balance or Mastery
The world may be understood as paradoxal. A Platonic experience of dualities that does not add up. Human being will always be in the dialectic between change and immutability, between unity and diversity and between equality and differences. The human possibility of being human is to be in balance in the dualities.
The other worldview understand the world as solvable. A hybris experience of conquest. The dualities will be solved. Between natur and human, between words and reality, between human knowledge and action, between life and death. The human possibility to be human is to master the world.
