About AEVITAS
A practical philosophy of authored conduct.
Aevitas is a philosophical system and corresp0nding book series developed by Dr. Michael (M.D.) Shafer. It examines how Agency can be protected and practiced amid bodily limits, inherited patterns, social conditions, uncertainty, and the outcomes of those interactions.
01 / What it is
Doctrine connected to outputs.
Aevitas connects doctrine to its outputs. Its concepts are meant to enhance the practitioner’s capacity of accurate perception, conduct governance, and revisability when stimuli, schema, or conditions change. Its practices are meant to persist even under pressures whether external or internal.
02 / Position
A system in conversation with inherited traditions.
Aevitas draws from virtue ethics, Stoic disciplines of judgment, existential accounts of responsibility, and contemporary accounts of physiology, psychology, and behavior as well as sociology and anthropology.
It is not a restatement of any one tradition, though. Instead, it organizes these inheritances around the new extensions and syntheses of Agency, the Interval, and five interdependent branches.
