What does that mean?
Glad you asked; and since the hour is late, let me be brief...Numbers seem ideally suited for the expression of physical reality, again, to such an extent that The pythagoreans thought numbers preceeded reality; but number is simply a concept...
Number is a single class of abstraction used to conceive of all physical, tangible, sensible reality... How can that be applied to people??? We can count our selves, measure ourselves, think of our selves as a form of reality and apply science to ourselves... But we, human beings have always conceived of ourselves spiritually, and this applies even to physical reality, and to all the spiritual forms which we find essential to our lives... Numbers, math, is logic... We do not concieve of ourselves logically...We cannot conceive of life, morality, virtue, freedom, justice, love, or hate logically; though it has not been for want of trying...So if I say moral reality, I am using the term rather as the word morale is applied to the military, to distinguish it from physic, which is the material condition of the army opposed to the spiritual condition...Moral reality is not reality in the sense of res, or thing.. Rather, all moral forms point to a certain meaning without being... Justice means even while it, justice, cannot be shown..Hope that helps....
