Critique of Kierkegaard Within Manteia Manteic theory ontology (as part of Resurrexit Spiritus) posits that imagination and rationality are not opposites but co-dependent forces, a synthesis that allows for a deeper understanding of reality. Yet Kierkegaard, in his rejection of Hegelianism, often dismissed reason as a mere tool of the intellect, incapable of grasping the…

Reconciling Objective and Subjective If Heidegger’s existentialism sought to reconcile a perspective of Christian theology with the modern age’s fragmented self, Kierkegaard took a different path, one that rejected even the idea of universal truths in favour of the individual, as the sole arbiter of meaning and beauty. Is this not a structure built on…

The Common Light of Elevation in Spirit and Rationality in Material Manteic ontology (https://24k.cc/?s=manteic; click for a listing of articles on the topic) is a bold proposition that challenges both Heideggerian existentialism and the idea that logical positivism as a rule for understanding the material necessarily refutes spirit.

Going to be focusing upon this series for a bit due to the extent of the arguments I must make. There is much to say on this topic, as well as confusion, so my efforts here are fruitful, especially at this moment in history when our task will be to expose self-obsessive materialists to the…

This idea reveals a fascinating tension, a kind of philosophical Babel in which there is a merging of sacred ideas with the secular. Heidegger once aspired to be a Jesuit priest…

Oneness’s Progress in Seven Truths Witness this vast canopy of creation: gaze upon the ‘all existence,’ in our unity. For in this design, Oneness is not merely a concept; it is reality itself. Every atom, every energetic star, every breath of wind is an echo of that singular, unifying force that binds all things together,…

The Honourable Competition Within Civilisation Let us consider the face as both a symbol and a weapon: a vessel for identity, yet a battleground for power. To strike another’s face is to violate not only their body but also their dignity, for the face is where we encounter the world, where we are judged by…

Mere Innocence No More Than Starting Point for Virtue In conclusion, let us return to our original question: is innocence foundational to goodness? The answer, I believe, lies not in the absence of evil but in the presence of virtue. Innocence may be a starting point, a state of potential, but it is only through…

If we fall into the sin of ‘Amnesis,’ of forgetting the self and who we are supposed to be, then we must find a way to awaken that memory, to rediscover who we are. This is where anger comes in, especially in times of strife. For when we see lies, deception, and corruption; when we…
