I have so many thoughts, but they will have to come out in full as I think them over. What I am struck by is how prescient it is for me as I think over what it means for Gods to not be "subjects" or "subjectivities", and how to understand myth in a non-reductionist manner.

I did not expect to write this much on this but it became something else. It's been scheduled for Saturday.

Aristotle as proto-Race theorist. I wonder if this is a necessary part of his ontologizing project. Can there be an Aristotelian Pros-hen based ontology that doesn't produce (proto)racist logic?

Challenge:

Taking a cue from platonic readings of the Odyssey, read the story of Luffy and his crew as a story about transmigration and the journey of the soul.

Done with this.

Probably as relevant as ever given the questions being asked.

They come up all the time in Phil. Rel., whether academic or amateur.

E.T. Prop. 1-6, but articulated by Plotinus.

I've read this twice and I'm stressed lol. Stressed in a good way. Plotinus' essays are seriously dense.

The "UFO" people will seize on this if they found out lmfao

I generally do not know how this is possible in today's understanding of physics.

I also wonder why substantial finitude must translate to spatial finitude.

Present not qua hyparxis, but present qua activity. One wonders how this "presence" is not just the very existence of that environment qua some aspect of existence. Aquinas famously denies God creating through the Angels.

This is the "aeviternity" Wolfgang Smith talks about. I sometimes wonder if this applies to infra-intellective hypercosmic souls.

This might also just be "mythical" time.

I think this makes a lot more sense of what @epbutler.bsky.social says about even the highest Gods being immediately present here even qua activity. If this is some of the fruit of engagement with the Neoplatonists, Aquinas is a very attentive reader.
December 1, 2024 at 10:52 AM
I'm very shocked. This is Aquinas' parallel to Proclus' Proposition 177
