A few personal thoughts on the reception of theological materialism
Theological materialism is a coherent
unified meta-material world view, without descending, as Hegel and
Heidegger did, and Plato long before them, into defining a
non-material spiritual idea of God, or Being (Plato and neoplatonism claimed
to turn reality down-side up while actually turning reality
upside-down). I have been
accused of being Lucifer, a Nazi, etc., and ignored by the left, the
right, the Alt Right, by conservatives, and of course by
religionists. But my work has mainly been ignored.
Some of this has to do with my blunt
and simplified style of writing, some has to do with my somewhat
defensive personality---I am also Swedish and German and
blunt honesty combined with altruism is sort of an ethnic trait---and some has to do with having no
institutional or commercial backing. But
these traits also seem to be what helps sustain me as a complete
outsider. I thank fate for the Internet and for PDF technology.
I think I will continue to work
energetically because the work is not only in my mind but in the
heart and bones of my personality. And I do see slow-moving positive
signs.
