Can anything in postmodernism be retained?
The signifier might dominate over the
signified but that does not make it reality, the postmodern world of
words once again creates an unreal world and calls it reality.
The way I put: words and definitions are secondary to the reality of the real objects defined---being and
thought are not the same, even if Parmenides said so.
I turn the Vedic and Hindu sages (and their
middle-eastern followers), and Plato, back on their feet from standing
on their heads regarding reality and unreality. Nietzsche called this
a transvaluation,
but Godhood is retained in theological materialism as a living
object, or objects, at the zenith of material and supermaterial
evolution.
The God defined in the Inward Path as
non-material with sacred words only is transformed in the Outward Path of natural and advanced evolution, which can lead to Godhood.
Knowledge of God is transformed, not murdered.
Ultimate reality is bound by
materialism and supermaterialism, which retains the scientific
Enlightenment while here keeping Godhood. Old religion is newly grounded
in sociobiology, with the deep conservatism of long-term evolution
toward real Godhood.
Group-selection need not lead to
authoritarianism, it leads to variety in ethnic cultures freely
living within their own states, and protected by some version of
federalism.
What is human? Freudian and Lacanian
selfish individualism exists but is superseded in reality by the kin
and group-selection of real human nature. Darwin's evolution is
wrongly seen as only remorseless tooth and claw. Altruism in human
nature developed the ethics of group-selection and social behavior, which is transformed
in religion and political philosophy.
