Aspirations to non-objects and objects in seeking the truth


The aspiration for truth is the aspiration for a higher object-being, and only secondarily an idea or mathematical number. Supreme Truth is a Supreme Object, or Godhood. Godhood is not merely a sacred word or non-object.

The same goes for beauty and goodness which are to be seen as objects and only secondarily as abstract denotations. Supreme Beauty and Goodness are also defined in Godhood the Supreme Object.

Problems come when religion as well as science go beyond objects and make idols of abstract definitions and denotations. Truth releases the concealed from the unconcealed, which is how the ancient Greeks, as well as Heidegger, defined truth. And truth is objects released from non-object denotations and seen as objects.
