We move on in the globalism books series to cover another Huxley, Julian, the father of the term “transhumanism,” who outlines the open philosophy of globalism in his famous essay “UNESCO: Its Purpose and Philosophy.” In Part 2 we will cover the first half of his book On Living in a Revolution and compare it to the subject we often cover known as the “final revolution.”
Classical Theist has agreed to come on to begin our debate on the issue of the essence-energy distinction and the uncreated energies of God, contrasted with the Thomistic and later Roman-defined doctrine of absolute simplicity.
The well-known debate over Theism between JF and myself from last year. We cover atheism, nihilism, logic and whether the positions are coherent.
Traditional philosophy and metaphysics Ep 6 picks up with a discussion of Defense of the Orthodox Faith: we cover the first book, where the doctrine of God is laid out, the essence – energy distinction, the Father as the sole cause and arche of the Godhead, as well as touching on the proper use of Aristotle (long before Aquinas) as we saw when we covered his Fount of Knowledge, while book 2 we will cover for subscribers to JaysAnalysis.

Today we will continue to cover divine simplicity in the Roman view, the Orthodox view, the meanings of our terms, the revealed doctrines, the patristic usages, the essence – energy distinction, St John of Damascus but with a focus on St Sophronius, and the 6th council’s condemnations of Origenism on multiple grounds from St Sophronius’ confession, accepted at the 6th council. We will compare this to Origen’s doctrine of evil based on dialectics and how Peterson accepts this view and how this leads him to gnosticism and how it ties to evolutionary theory.
My undergraduate and graduate work focused on a large degree of philosophy of science and analytics. Russell is an example of reductionistic, naturalistic determinism and the “evolutionary” process of societies toward a single new world order government where life is regulated from womb to tomb by cybernetics and mass genetic control and experimentation, as well as the extermination of much of the population. Russell was a fraud and a propagandist, not a philosopher.
Picking up where we left off on the last defense of theology and philosophy stream, I return to questions of apologetic method, the ontological status of numbers, logic and other invariant conceptual entities, the nature of metaphysics and transcendental arguments, the relationship of historical philosophy to dialectics and why dialectics must be avoided. We will also discuss revelation in Scripture in terms of the epistemic authority, the circularity of foundational truth claims at a fundamental level, as well as your questions. How do numbers prove God?
