Connecting Religion, Politics and Science
Political philosophers and social
scientists have overlooked (or banned) the work of Raymond Cattell and to a lesser extent E.O. Wilson, which means the trend of the
social sciences toward the positivist hard sciences is incomplete and
even biased. We need sociobiology and psychometric testing in the
social sciences and in the humanities and in normal life. The claim
that these fields overlook normal human life and are too narrowly
trimmed down so that they may fit into empirical analysis or
quantification is just plain incorrect.
I have included sociobiology in the
religious philosophy of theological materialism and the Evolutionary
Christian Church, while using anything else that seems relevant,
intellectual intuition, science, ideology, political philosophy, art,
etc. This philosophy looks to future evolution and science in seeking
the material-supermaterial evolution of life all the way to Godhood,
the God first seen and mirrored in the Inward Paths of the great
religions.
I have passed over much of progressive
liberalism, which often seems to reject both religion and the
Enlightenment in pursuit of an anarchic or libertarian hedonism that
does not relate to actual human nature or the group-selection which
mainly created human civilization. I have affirmed much of
paleoconservatism and classical liberalism, which includes limited
government and free enterprise, but I have opposed the essentially
Vedic Traditionalist School with its dream of a reactionary Arcadia
or golden age before science and evolution came into the picture.
