Aesthetic Realism is the greatest opponent of injustice I know. (That is why a few selfish people are angry and lie about it). It explains we have two opposing drives all the time, one towards respect & seeing meaning, the other for contempt. Eli Siegel, the great poet, critic & educator who founded Aesthetic Realism, identified contempt as the addition to self by the lessening of other things. It is the root cause of racism and war. The study of respect & contempt is an emergency.
