Do we seek the clarity of the
classicist or the infinite (Burke's sublime) of the romantic in the
arts? Adapting Robert Ellwood's view of Carl
Jung and Burke, I would say our ignorance of Godhood causes us to
give form to archetypes going forward in evolution to Godhood and
inward to the activating Spirit-Will or Tirips which activates life.
Kant said we cannot fully know
reality but I think that we will know much more reality when we evolve to ascending levels of
Godhood, and we will also know more of truth and beauty. This is a romantic
notion but since it also seeks absolute truth it seeks the clarity of
classicism.
I split the difference and use the art term
"evolutionary realism" as less weighted than romantic classicism, and
also since evolution is so central to the theological materialism of
the projected Theoevolutionary Church. This also blends the Darwinian and the phenomenological.
