The emperor of abstract definition has no clothes
I could agree with Heidegger's idea
that the history of metaphysics is the history of the “oblivion of
Being,” but I would put it another way: the history of religion and philosophy is the history of the oblivion of the
real object. Given the oblivion of the real object
it is no wonder that materialism rejected religion and much of
philosophy. In rejecting religion, materialism and philosophy ended
up with empty materialism.
Now, in the theological materialism of
the Evolutionary Church, the real object of materialism is seen as hypertrophied into the Supermaterial Supreme Object, or Godhood,
attained through evolution. This retrieves religion and philosophy
and even science from the empty oblivion of Being.
The real object has been lost in almost
diabolical abstractions, which means that Real Being is lost in
abstractions. Yes, we must use mathematics to technically run the
world, but mathematics does not replace real objects and does not
replace the Supreme Object of Real Godhood.
We know that living objects exist in the world from the simple to the complex, and it is realistic to say, without abstraction, that a hierarchy of such living objects exist in the cosmos, and this evolution would follow up to the Supremely Complex, with a highest level of evolution, where Godhood would dwell.
A child knows that what he sees is
real, without abstractions, even if he does not know that he will see
more of the object as his senses and consciousness and intelligence
advance. This is basically all that needs to be said regarding how
we regard the real world. The emperor of abstract definition has no
clothes.
