>see DBH a critique of Perennialism >awesome let's see what he says>"Guenon... was a racist... Schuon... didn't help the civil rights movement... Evola... just deplorable... no words..."Between this and his kek worthy socialism article I'm once again left wondering why cultural writers no matter how great always have the most milquetoast politics
This guy shapes reality to his view of justice. Not an objective or serious person.
>>25220797justice and morality*
>>25220632What does he say about Huxley? Let me guess, crypto-racist with a eugenics angle?
>>25220632No one with taste genuinely reads Evola or Guenon. Only terminally online retards who have read fewer than 30 books read these charlatans
>>25220797He's a theologian, what did you expect?
>>25220893Hello David
>>25220889He actually comments how he enjoyed reading him in his youth>>25220893Would you care to add anything?
>>25220893This is true, Evola and Spengler were pulled from the dustbin of history by activist twitter pseuds to intellectualize the budding online right movement during the mid-2010's. Nobody seriously studies them.
>>25220889>But I love a good honest syncretist like Aldous Huxley (who, despite the title of his famous anthology, was not part of the perennialist faction). He took everything seriously without being so arrogant as to produce a “system” of the higher truths in each of the creeds, and didn’t anoint himself into a kind of personal priesthood. When he was silly–his physiological speculations, for instance–it was usually just an honest mistake.
>>25220632There is, in certain contemporary theological discourses, a peculiar inversion that betrays the very metaphysical principles such discourse ostensibly seeks to defend. One encounters in them a sentimental exaltation of the moral domain, as though ethics, however refined, could ever occupy the summit that properly belongs to the supra-individual order. This tendency, clothed in a rhetoric of compassion and universal reconciliation, reveals less a penetration into principial truth than a subordination of the intellect to the fluctuations of psychic and emotional states. It is not that charity or mercy are themselves in error, but rather that they are absolutized, detached from their transcendent root, and made to serve as the ultimate criteria of judgment. Such a displacement cannot but result in a confusion of levels: the contingent elevated to the rank of the necessary, the human substituted for the divine.From this confusion arises a political vision that is no less symptomatic of the same disorder. For when metaphysical discernment is eclipsed, the temporal order becomes the field upon which salvific aspirations are projected. One then observes an insistence that the structures of society must conform to an idealized moral intuition, itself derived less from immutable principles than from a kind of aesthetic revulsion toward suffering and limitation. The consequence is a program that, while outwardly humane, is inwardly unstable, for it lacks anchorage in any truly transcendent norm. It is governed instead by a perpetual oscillation between indignation and consolation, each reinforcing the illusion that the remedy for existential imperfection lies within the domain of collective arrangements.
>>25220910That's not me
>>25220938not untrue
>>25220916>let me tell how you should believe *my* counterfactual history
>>25221211Go back to your containment board and stay there.
>>25221382ok
>>25220938Deus Caritas Est
>>25220632Not much different than his writing on the Old Testament either. He's esentially a Marcionist, but copes that stuff like the genocide of the Canaanites didn't actually happen or was a later edition by foolish and bloodthirsty Israelites because it *obviously* doesn't match up with the kind and loving and always peaceful Jesus.
>>25220632not sure what youre on about, nitpicking much?i read that all shall be saved.and watched eternal theater its free on youtube.helped me understand universal reconciliation as the most logical conclusion.hell the word is based of 4 words 2 of which are actual physical locations on earth, hell the concept only really took off around dantes inferno flawed concept btw. God is good as a father he wouldn't want any of his children to be tortured eternally, would you wish it upon your child?the "church" is a sect and a bad tangent of what was once very different, for one it was not called christianity, the fear based false teaching of hell was implanted much later to keep people in line.
>>25220632It does beg the question: if they have such pathetic sophisticated barriers, what other lame/normie philosophical limits do they also possess.If you can't say "nigger" freely your own mind, how much free will do you actually have?
>>25220632that's a powerful critique, I don't see how you can recover from these ad-hominems. Utter annihilation
>>25220632When your theological views come from someone with such evidently terrible politics you should probably consider why they have those theological views in the first place, or you can continue calling people infernalists just as how leftists call normal people racists
>>25221839>hell the concept only really took off around dantes inferno flawed concept btwWrong and ESL slop>God is good as a father he wouldn't want any of his children to be tortured eternallyRomans 9, vessels of wrath fitted to destruction
>>25221839>not sure what you're on about, I read [texts not mentioned at all in the OP]>[argues about universalism]Proof this site is just LLMs
>Guenon... was a racistdamn bodied that freak>Schuon... didn't help the civil rights movementouch, sent that freak flying>Evola... just deplorable... no words...done him
>>25222002lack of arrows indicates you might look something like that
>>25221857Goyim have not realized that nobody cares if you say nigger now. Teenagers say it on ig reels nonstop. The world keeps turning. The monkey's paw curse with nigger no longer being an ur-transgressive sacred profanity is that the people who say it nonstop either have to convince each other it's still edgy or move on to other means of vice signaling like cp, rape, mass shootings.
>>25222032saying nigger and being racist is still worse than being an epsteindiddler rapist murderer, you spend too much time online.
I forgive a lot of nonsense from Hart because his critical translation of the New Testament is really goodI also think hes much more directionally correct about the NT's views on communal property but calling it "Christian Socialism" is beyond retarded
>>25222231>really goodby what standard? very unorthodox (also very Orthodox) and elevates selective lexical possibilities and idiosyncratic judgments in ways that reflect his theological commitments as much as the underlying Greek..
>>25222249You’re retarded
>>25222254sure, but the criticism stands.
>>25222259Do you know koine greek ?
>>25222260yes. a student of bill mounce and moises silva.
>>25222278Lmaoo
DBH fanboys are pathetic.
>>25222965No thanks Lilith.
>>25220632>catholicism-orthodoxy is the first ngo and exists only to replace europeans-protestants with browns and mongoloids Congratulation on figuring it out.
>>25220632The only DBH I recognize is Dallas Bryce Howard
>>25221382You sound upset
>>25222002He's got that soi argumentation down
