✒️ Philosophy & Ethics Blog
Where classical thought meets modern life.
Welcome
This is the philosophical writing section of JonHaines.com — a space for serious reflection on ethics, politics, faith, technology, and the human condition.
Most of what I publish here draws from the classical philosophical tradition — especially Aristotle, Aquinas, and Yves R. Simon — and applies it to contemporary questions:
What makes for good government? What is technology for? Can modern institutions sustain human flourishing?
If you’re looking for more than surface-level commentary and want to explore the principles that guide a good life and a just society, you’re in the right place.

🎯 Reading Guidelines
I aim to write with clarity, not jargon — but this blog assumes you’re thinking about big questions. If you’re a student, educator, or thoughtful reader trying to wrestle with ideas that don’t fit in a tweet, I hope you’ll find something valuable here.
Not everything here is “neutral” — but everything is meant to be honest, charitable, and serious.
