    Mark Brahmin believes that the ultimate teleological purpose of art and religion is to get men and women to have sex. His project is not even remotely religious, it is an aesthetic larp designed to give his ideas a mystical coat of paint and appropriate some of the legitimacy of ancient spirituality for his own materialist ideology. I still can not see what "Apolloism" actually consists in, other than perhaps Mark Brahmin's own method of interpreting mythology, which in my opinion is not worth much. Those with a genuine interest in spirituality would be much better served by looking into Evola's works.

    Really enjoyed your post. I really should brush up on my Greek mythology. Are there any sources that you would recommend? I enjoy reading but I am not adverse to a podcast or two.

      Go tell your nearest Catholic priest that he worships a "solar god" and see how he reacts.

      Yes, but a more educated Catholic will have no problems — Christ's solar aspect is well known understood just as John (eagle) is seen as a personification of Zeus.

      The trouble is Christian scholarship has deteriorated in tandem with the decline of the Church. It has been taken over by scriptural literalists and the religion of woke.

      Yes, but a more educated Catholic will have no problems

      What type of more educated Catholic would that be? A theologian? A cardinal? A monk? I do not think that any of those people worship a "solar god".

        It's interesting seeing Christianity attempting to incorporate evolution via the development of process theology. ALthough it would pain him to admit it Brian Swimme (another physicist) seems to have independently come up with his very own version of Peirce's Cosmotheism; one that stresses the unity of life without the icky racial element. Probably the ideas were prelevant during the 1970s - 80s and Peirce, being the braver man, simply followed the logic to its conclulusion

        Why does he have a British accent here?

        [–]somewherenear 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

        Possibly because he's British...

        Is he? I've never heard him speak with such an accent.
