Justification of Ontotheology of Becoming
Structural draft. Threefold.
- Father-Way: follow and accept. Dogmatic argument: Incarnation. The meaning of incarnation: Individuation. How universal incarnation leads to a cosmos that is an on-going creation.
- Logos-Truth: Inquire and question. Metaphysical argument:
- Ontotheological argument: foundations of mathematics, intuitionistic logic, continuum, Kolmogorov complexity, spacetime, meaning theory, etc.
- Cosmotheological argument: Schellingianism & Jungianism. How religion itself is processual. Transformations of archetypal symbols. The mirroring of the history of world religion and hominization and the development of consciousness. Process metaphysics.
- Spirit-Life: To feel and to create. Aesthetical argument: this doesn't need any argument, you write poems, paint, etc. for it.
From the German idealist perspective#
The so-called egoist individualism is just a facet of German idealism that is a direct consequence of the actualization of universal incarnation in each human individuals. God is free, so human individuals are free. God creates, so individuals create. If you look at that one aspect of incarnation, you'll get the position of individualist anarchism.
There is an esoteric aspect, and there is also an exoteric aspect. I just don't understand why people stress this or that one aspect. It's quite absurd to me. It is as if they really want to show other people that they are individualistic or responsible blah blah.
An individual is nothing if this individual is not embedded inside a society, a world, a cosmos. This individual must have a purpose, an end, so that this very individuation can be meaningful. If the cosmos is a completed one, then the end of the individual will be fixed in a strong sense: there's a fixed hierarchy in the cosmos, and this cosmic order gives form to the social order, and each individual must conform to this social order in order to individuate meaningfully. This certainly is absurd: Why individuate at all? What's the point of Incarnation if this is the case?
Hence a fixed cosmic order doesn't work. A chaotic world also doesn't work, that will be like the cosmos of Buddhism, a cosmos of which the essence is nothingness, where individuation is rather something evil rather than meaningful, in contradiction to Christianity's cherishing the Incarnation and thus individuated beings, or rather being qua becoming. Thus the cosmos must be in the process of being created, and individuals participate in the Creation of the cosmos by individuating themselves. Thus the phenomenal and the noumenal must be one, since individuals must be real, and when they're individuating themselves they must be generating something real.
Also observe that realism in the Aristotelian sense or Thomist sense really doesn't work. You need some sort of idealism where human perception and thinking really shapes the reality. That leads to the split of the noumenal and the phenomenal. Process theology fixes this problem of the split between the noumenal and the phenomenal. Process theology is literally the only way out.
