Do we seek
the clarity of the classicist or the infinite (Burke's sublime) of
the romantic in the arts? Adapting Robert
Ellwood's view of Carl Jung and Burke, I would say our ignorance
of Godhood causes us to give form to archetypes going forward in
evolution to Godhood and inward to the activating Spirit-Will or
Tirips which activates life.
Kant said we cannot fully
know reality but I think that we will know much more reality when we
evolve to ascending levels of Godhood, and we will also know more of
truth and beauty. This is a romantic notion but since it also seeks
absolute truth it seeks the clarity of classicism.
I split the difference and
use the art term "evolutionary realism" as less weighted
than romantic classicism, and also since evolution is so central to
the theological materialism of the projected Theoevolutionary Church. This also
blends the Darwinian and the phenomenological.
