A Theology of Beauty, affirming the immanentizing of the eschaton
A theology of beauty is not merely for
art and literature but for theology itself and for philosophy, but
also includes a biology of beauty. Here's why and how:
A theology of beauty is grounded in the
real world of living objects which evolve in the material world
toward a supermaterial Godhood of living objects. This unblocks the
Great Spiritual Blockade begun by ancient Indo-European sages and
continued in the West by Plato and traditional religion on up to
Heidegger and the post-moderns, who continued to define (and define only) the highest
things, including God and Being, as non-material and beyond the
material world.
Ever respectful of the common sense of
conservatism, the theology of beauty does not reject the traditional
religious Inward Path to the God or Father Within, esoterically or
exoterically. but transforms this first symbolic experience in the
Outward Path of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood, as described in theological materialism.
This not only unblocks the Great
Spiritual Blockade but brings biology, evolution, and real life itself, including science,
into a theology and philosophy of beauty. Contrary to Eric
Voegelin, this affirms
the “ immanentizing of the eschaton,” that is, bringing about God by evolving in the immanent material
world to Godhood.
This
can bring the evolution of life to the zenith of life, which is Godhood,
led by the biology of beauty, where the material zenith of simplicity,
elegance, proportion, beauty, truth and
goodness are defined as Godhood.
