Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 30/08/2025But the full account of that Christo-logic is just what I attempted in my book, including the “dilemma of creation” implied by (1) Maximus’s point here about God never needing evil and yet (2) his other point that one would need to know God fully first to know creation rightly. 120
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 30/08/2025But Maximus goes on in that same text to argue for an identity indeed, the Logos is the logoi and the reverse. Here again one must trace the Christo-logic thoroughly to see that this other type of identity isn’t somehow not an identity. So the person here limits himself to options Maximus transcends 120
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Moreover, Maximus’s critique of “Origenism” in Amb 7 isn’t simply a negation of the absolute’s self-othering. It’s first of all a rejection of a *serial* and thus merely finite self and relation that, qua finite, is either perpetually insecure or a mere external contrast. 120
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 30/08/2025absoluteness—or as he says of the PhG in the preface to the science of logic, it establishes “the idea of the absolute.” Reading this the way one reads a treatise on being is a prolonged category error. 120
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 30/08/2025He doesn’t get Hegel right, since Hegel always thinks the Absolute’s “self-Othering” except as Trinity, and thence any relative difference through Christ. Also, the PhG is not a straightforward ontology; it is a phenomenology, ie an account of how finite reason experiences its own mediated.. 130
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Well, I wouldn’t say that. For an intro to Hegel himself, I’d start with Houlgate and/or Peter Hodgson (Hegel & Christian Theology). 120
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 25/06/2025For Rose, I recommend the following and in this order: Mourning Becomes the Law, Dialectic of Nihilism, The Broken Middle, Hegel Contra Sociology, Love’s Work—that’s a good start! 120

Reposted by JordanTimothy Troutner @troutsky.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Rahner is famous for the identity of economic and immanent Trinity. Here he explains that this identity is what Hegel would call a speculative proposition: an identity which includes difference as its self-difference. A living sameness which produces and sublates otherness. 192

Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Well, you see, if we meticulously excise the word “dialectical” from your description, then what you have is just plain old classical theism. The long christological tradition is really just a comedy of one error: instead of person, they should’ve said “place of indistinction.” Easy enough! 010

Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 16/03/2025But apparently he imagines it more obviously lucid and wholly different to say that the created and uncreated are “but two modes within a more original unity.” Wow, nice magical principle of identity you got there! 220
Jordan @jdw11.bsky.social · 16/03/2025The latter mainly. But he’ll describe my view as “Christ’s two natures are inherently irreconcilable” and so I posit a “principle of hypostasis” which “magically” reconciles the irreconcilable. But ofc I say none of this. 110
