Yes that is good. But I already follow teleology and love Aristotle.

The problem is people don't listen. Where do you find a wife that accepts that her sole purpose is to have children and be a mother? Where do you find a community where every woman is like this and there are no bad apples ready to poison the whole thing?

Then why does each have a different mandate? The teleology of each is different. Some are ethnic supremacists and others aren't.

The Jewish one says the Jews are the chosen people. The Muslim one says the Arabs have priority because the Quran was dictated in Arabic. Confucius was a ethnic Han supremacist. The Hindu one has castes and says some humans are chandala.

>> No.23174228

>>23174222
Because contained within each pure doctrine is the impurity of dogma -- man's confusion.
Confucius wasn't a Han supremacist.
The Islamic religion preaches the universal brotherhood of all men.
The Jewish religion says Jews are "chosen" because the Word was given to them and spreading it was entrusted to them, not because they're superior.
The Hindu religion speaks of spiritual castes and men interpreted this as material castes.
Men are dim witted. This does not negate the purity of Truth.

When they are, they typically lack any noble bearing at all. Great figures have always been rare, but good figures are not supposed to be so rare as they are.

I wouldn’t consider them role models exactly but I have known a few people who I would say are a lot closer than the competition. They’re all artists and a couple are academics. I think modern civilization is basically so rotten, that you’re more likely to find a diamond in the rough around the fringes or on the ivory tower, separate from the real meat of the civilization. The businessmen, the lawyers, the media personnel, the politicians, these people are ignominious frauds. Their arenas select for that which is not to be admired. Another guy who think is a pretty good guy, maybe not admirable but a lot better than his contemporaries at least from what I can tell, Jonathan Pageau (friends with JBP) talked about this in a lecture. He talked about how in the city of God, you find the freaks on the edges. That’s why medieval manuscripts have the weird stuff around the margins. But in the modern world, he says, the core is the freak show, the normal and the heroic is pushed to the margins. He’s speaking as an artist obviously, but it illustrates the point that’s resonated with me anyway. That’s that the teachers, if they’re to be found at all, are found mainly on the margins. The ones not on the margins are really few and far between to the point they practically don’t exist.

Good book. I would add Wallace's "Philosophical Mysticism in Plato and Hegel," which is more about reflexive freedom than mysticism proper.

Also Boethius' "Consolation of Philosophy," for a great counterpoint to the modern consoomer perspective we are forcefed.

>>23173759
First, you have an under developed conception of the telos of woman. "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

There is no priority here. All human beings have access to the Logos. All benefit from focusing on the immutable things of God, not the mutable things of creation sans God. Being a mother is a greater goal than being a consumer, but it is not the end goal for woman. Aristotle's argument that the contemplative life is highest and most divine on Book X of the Ethics applies just as much for women. St. Augustine has the right of it, the true purpose for all mankind is the contemplation of, and union with the divine nature — theosis.

>Capitalism swallows everything up and makes everything about consuming material goods and competing with the neighbour for who can consume more.

Yes, well it's funny how many "Western chauvinists," can't shake this mindset. For over a millennia virgins who had taken an oath of poverty were the most respected class of people and trades were judged in the production of beauty, not in terms of volume and growth. Grasping is one of Aristotle's vices — today it is particularly seen as a virtue in conservative circles.

In San Francisco, a city named after a homeless saint, people cry out for their absolute disgust with poverty.

You are setting up a false dichotomy between being driven by consumerism — the appetites and the passions — and having your entire purpose in life be your individual family and service to them. A mother whose developed her idea of the good and who serves justice and the good — God — will be a better mother than one who simply goes by the motto "family first."

And it seems a little self serving to assume this is the true purpose of woman when apparently you are the person they should be serving lol.

A woman who is a good mother because she knows the Good is going to be far more stable as an actually good mother than one who good mother solely due to social pressures and expectations. But this then leads back to intellectual development, and not all women are meant to be mothers just as not all men are meant to be fathers, either due to deficits or other talents.

As Hildegard holds, the higher calling would seem to be marriage to Christ, and indeed it seems hard to argue that nuns cannot fulfill their telos.

Yes, and Paul specifically says that it is better for people NOT to marry if they can avoid temptation. So how exactly does that support the contention that the purpose of woman is primarily marriage and child rearing?

Further, consider what it means for the husband to be head of the household as Christ was head of the Apostles. Was Christ served by the Apostles? Did he have them strive for his personal comfort and happiness? Or did he put them first? Did he declare that he who would lead must become a servant and wash their feet?

>A woman achieves union with God through her created husband the same way man achieves union with God through Christ.

This isn't even a bad misinterpretation of what Paul is saying, but downright blasphemous, raising up husbands to the role of God, which is not what Paul is intending. Paul is talking about the authority proper to families. Men do not "become Christ," for their wives, nor can any man grant theosis.

Further, this sets up the absurdity that women who get married to sinful or unbelieving husbands, perhaps without their own choice, perhaps through the husband falling away, are then blocked from Christ, as if a husband can block the divine.

No one said it was democratic, this is a strawman. Christ didn't rule the Apostles through democracy, but nor did he rule in the way of worldy kings.

>>23174988
No? A woman's purpose IS her kids and husband? No, a woman's purpose is like any humans' purpose, to do the will of God. If a husband or child becomes wicked then her role is not to support wickedness but to do what is holy. "For you shall be holy as I am holy."

>it’s written in the Quran
The Quran includes the teaching that ‘Islam’ (lit. Submission (to God)) is an eternal teaching that has existed timelessly and was also manifested throughout the Jewish and Christian messengers, prophets and teachers long before Muhammad, from Adam to Jesus and John the Baptist. It includes, as well, an injunction of respect for The People of the Book, explicitly taken to include at least Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and the Sabaeans, for being monotheists with a written set of scriptures they followed and regarded in the Quran as having received real divine guidance they followed. (Although Islam follows up by saying it is itself the most modern, complete, and perfect revelation, and the former traditions, although having grains of truth, became subject to distortion).

In the original view of Islam, “Allah” simply is the Arabic word for God and the same being as Jehovah of the Jews or God the Father and the Holy Spirit of Christianity (which the Quran simply calls at times the ruh, spirit, or other appellations adding an adjective to ruh, like the holy or trustworthy spirit, and they of course differ on the idea of Jesus as God the Son). So there’s a little map-and-territory confusion here, the original teaching when they say “Islam is the only true religion” is that it’s indeed the primordial spiritual revelation of God but that also came through Judaism and Christianity at one point, if not other teachings.

No, a reading where mortal men are the "savior" of other humans is what is blasphemous. It is clear in the original Greek that "his body, of which he is the Savior" refers to the church as the body of Christ and Christ as savior of ALL the members of his body, not just men and unmarried women. There is nothing here that suggests husbands as intermediaries and Hebrews lays clear the ridiculousness of positing sinful men as taking on the role of Christ as the perfect priest.

A more accurate rendering is "yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body."

This is why women still receive the Eucharist, or why women are baptized, rather than receiving the sacraments through their husband's body, which would be ridiculous.

No I disagree because fallenness described a natural state. It doesn’t describe a state of sin. To sin is a greater evil than to be fallen. So take Christ as your model of virtue. Whether you’re a Christian or not a Christian. It doesn’t matter. Just for the sake of argument take him as the moral compass. The world before Christ was fallen and in error. But the world after Christ, in so far as it turns away from Christ, is not just fallen or error. It’s actually wicked. It’s not good. Where before men strive for good and sometimes fell short, today they don’t fall short. They don’t even try. Indeed, they can’t try. There were seeds of the logos. There are no fallen leaves of the logos. So just because both would be fallen doesn’t mean one is better than the other. The pre-Christian Romans and Greeks lived in times of great heroes, politicians, scholars, poets, all sorts of admirable figures. It was a time where to be successful, you had to be well-spoken, courageous, and though some were successful from shrewdness others were successful from being able to inspire admiration in others. But we live in a time of basically nothing and nobody. The only way to be successful is to be shrewd and lacking a moral compass, lacking in virtue. We don’t have Pompeys or Scipios or Scipios or Herotoduses or Xenophons. We have Kardashians and Musks. The whole thing is a sick joke. A clown world. A literal world for clowns.
