6: The Law of Society

The law of society consists of all things, placed alongside one another, complementing and embellishing one another.

Sacred
Majestic
Noble
Excellent
Decent

Take the words decent, excellent, noble, majestic, and sacred. They make up an ascending gradation.

Having a counter-revolutionary spirit, man will desire a society in which, alongside many decent things might exist various excellent, noble, majestic, and sacred things.

And then man will naturally create a society which, within this almost fluid order of things, achieves admirable variety and perfect unity.
