ジョン・ウールマン

EII-D "Empath" Religious Activist · USA · 18c

American Quaker activist (1720–1772). During colonial-era America he travelled from house to house among Quakers, seeking by personal persuasion the renunciation of slaveholding — a pioneering abolitionist. "The Journal of John Woolman" is regarded as a foundational Quaker spiritual text.

Leading Function+Fi-p (Morality & Duty)

"Conviction of the divine in every human being" — the core of +Fi-p action. Personal persuasive visits to slaveholders as the concrete moral care that is the foundational function.

Creative Function-Ne-c (Common Sense & Peace)

"Argued gently without giving offence" — persuasion without coercion, using no violent means whatsoever. The Quaker "gentle testimony" as the weapon of common sense — the core of -Ne-c creative function.

Vulnerable Function 1+Se-p weak (Achievement & Protection)

Records of +Se-p weak: power, social influence, and coercive action. Concentration on inner sincerity reduced outward power-seeking behaviour.

Vulnerable Function 2-Ti-c weak (System & Transformation)

Records of -Ti-c weak: logical and systematic thoroughness. Emotional compassion and intuitive care overwhelmed logical system-building.

Quadra / Temperament / Club

Quadra: Delta Quadra (Tradition) — deep trust in the spiritual value of the divine in every person. Individual moral opposition to slavery; simplicity of life.

Temperament: "A man of gentle and persuasive speech" and "argued gently" — calm and outwardly consistently stable. Adherent to Quaker community norms for 30+ years — embodiment of the Balanced-Stable temperament.

Club: Humanitarian-Artistic Club activity through literature, art, and ethics. Woolman's work functioned as the integration of artistic completeness and humanitarian mission.

Worldview & Attitude

The world is simple and inherently good (positivism). Trust in order and cooperation, dedication to a stable community as the premise of action. "The divine dwells in every human being" — optimistic Quaker faith. Belief that if slaveholders were gently confronted with this truth, they would come to see the evil of slavery themselves.

Attitude toward Change: Implementing change as a realistic plan in a gradual, step-by-step manner. Personal persuasion of slaveholders pursued through individual visits over many years rather than political mobilisation.
