Transforming Both the City of Man and the City of Godhood

If we go along with the Thomist idea—adapted from Aristotle—that the purpose of the city is to have a place where people can live virtuous lives, with social design forms in harmony with real human nature, and then if we upgrade Aristotle's definition of human nature to include human nature defined by modern sociobiology (human nature as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection), and then if we transform the old Greek concept of God from a God as mainly supremely rational to also--and more importantly--a Godhood attained by way of the evolution of material and supermaterial life, then we can more practically affirm ethnopluralism as containing both cities of man and cities of Godhood, that is, cities and small states containing mainly ethnic cultures involved in the highest value of citizens evolving toward Godhood in their own unique ways, with variety, living in the natural ethnic configurations which human nature has always preferred.

We would then have material cities of man evolving toward supermaterial cities of Godhood. On the one hand ethnopluralism would be very much involved in the particular, the local, the place, while ethnopluralism would also transform the local to the universal with its sacred goal of all life evolving toward Godhood. The transformation need not even be a radical transformation since, for example, it can conservatively go along with the separation of powers and states and the federalism of the original United States Constitution.
