How theological materialism is conservative and evolutionary
Biological, historical, and
metaphysical law need not be antagonistic. Life can be defined not
merely as living biology but as living biology evolving toward
Godhood.
Political principles can be established
that honor both religion and evolutionary standards. The particular
or historical need not contrast with the metaphysical, both can be
synthesized in theological materialism.
The metaphysical world is an
approximation of the phenomenal world, not the other way around. The
fatal argument for conservatism is to argue against evolutionary
circumstances which in reality take us to real Godhood.
Humans find themselves with the
establishments they have developed, but also, more fundamentally,
from the execution of biological evolution, where the patterns of
evolution seek survival and reproductive success in various cultures.
But far more than that, life seeks to
evolve to Godhood, the God first seen or experienced and then
symbolized in the Inward Paths of traditional religion, which can be retained but
transformed.
It is from this deep conservative
perspective that the ethnopluralism hypothesis grows, which can be
conservatively accommodated by the constitutional principle of the
separation of powers and states, where the primary unit of
group-selection and all ethnic preferences can be harmonized, including both the laws of nature
and religion in political philosophy.
Perhaps the war between Russell Kirk
(paleoconservative), Leo Strauss (neoconservative), and Edward Wilson
(sociobiologist) can end?
