...where the Two become the One
A Logocentric call to arms. The ancient Greeks identified three modes of persuasion: ethos, the appeal to the character or credibility of the speaker; pathos, the appeal to the emotions of the audience; and logos, the appeal to reason and the argument itself. In a sane and ordered civilization, these three exist in a hierarchy with logos at the summit. Reason, which is the reflection of the divine order, must govern emotion and […] Read more »
In the annals of mythology and theology, there exists a resonant archetype: the figure who descends from the transcendent realm to emancipate humanity from the darkness of ignorance, only to suffer agonizing punishment by the ruling powers of the age. While the Greeks looked to Prometheus, the titan who defied Olympus, the Christian looks to Jesus, the Incarnation of the Logos. From a Logocentric perspective—where God is understood as the […] Read more »
In my previous examination of Pandora’s Jar, I dismantled the deceptive comfort of hope, exposing it as a passive tether that binds us to the reactive cycle of afterthought. To break free from this paralysis, one must adopt the mantle of Prometheus—the bringer of forethought. However, true forethought is not merely the intellectual exercise of predicting outcomes; it is an act of rigorous, spiritual, and cognitive alignment with reality, or the Logos. […] Read more »
Forethought, Afterthought, and the Trap of Passive Hope To live in alignment with the Logos—the divine ordering principle of truth—requires a rigorous devotion to cause and effect. It demands that we look at reality not as we wish it to be, but as it objectively is. However, the human mind is frequently divided between two modes of being: the active will of the planner and the passive reaction of the […] Read more »
How 1 Samuel 16 and Matthew 5 Reveal the Logocentric Christian Path My treatise The Logocentric Christian presents a philosophical operating system grounded in Reason, Character, and Sovereignty. While it may appear as a modern synthesis, this commentary will demonstrate that it is, in fact, the profound unveiling of a rational truth long encoded within the Hebrew-Christian mythos. By constructing a theological bridge with two pivotal scriptural passages, we can see how […] Read more »
In the landscape of human interaction, few events are as potent and disorienting as the activation of an emotional trigger. It is a sudden, internal storm that can capsize the vessel of reason, leaving us adrift in a sea of primal reaction. When triggered, our capacity for nuanced thought and responsible behavior is often the first casualty. This cognitive hijacking is not merely a matter of heightened feelings; it is […] Read more »
Introduction: A Philosophical Inquiry Let it be stated from the outset: what follows is a philosophical treatise, not a theological one. Logocentric Christianity, as it will be detailed, is not a new set of doctrines to be accepted on faith, but a rational framework for understanding reality, morality, and the human condition. It is an operating system for the mind, grounded in the primacy of the Logos—the universal principle of […] Read more »
At the heart of our relationship not just with the state, but with many of our most powerful social, cultural, and even religious norms, lies a foundational premise so widely accepted it is rarely questioned: the social contract. We are told this is the legitimate basis for our interactions, an implicit agreement for the sake of security and order. Yet, when we place this contract under the lens of reason, […] Read more »
In the complex and often fraught interplay between the individual and the vast machinery of the state, a fundamental conflict frequently emerges, one that opens a chasm between the raw capacity for force and the legitimate right to authority. When a citizen finds themselves in the crosshairs of a bureaucratic entity, the very nature of truth, reason, and justice is called into question, transforming the landscape of civil discourse into […] Read more »
Attempting to live freely in a world dominated by those with an unearned ego. There is a profound and often maddening disconnect that a person of substance experiences when navigating the modern world. You can dedicate yourself to building a mind of logic, principle, and intellectual honesty, only to watch as those with fragile, yet grandiose egos—the masters of political flow—achieve practical results with astonishing speed. This isn’t a failure […] Read more »
The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools. ~Greek historian Thucydides The archetype of the warrior is etched into the bedrock of human history, a symbol of courage and discipline. Yet, within this single image lie two profoundly different figures: the soldier and the philosopher-warrior. The former is a highly effective instrument of power, defined by their […] Read more »
The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th, 2025, was an act of brutal finality aimed at a man known for his calm and reasoned demeanor. Yet, to see it merely as the tragic end of a single life is to miss its far more sinister implication. The bullet that struck his throat was not just a physical assault; it was a profoundly symbolic one. It was an attack on […] Read more »
Building your house on the solid rock of Logocentric thinking In our modern world, the drive for a strong sense of self, for recognition, and for tangible success is a powerful motivator. We seek to build an identity that is effective and respected. Yet, in this pursuit, a fundamental paradox emerges: the very things many desire—a powerful ego, wealth, and influence—cannot be successfully attained by chasing them directly. True, sustainable […] Read more »
Pride in one’s past means taking credit for one’s specific achievements, pausing to recognize oneself with either “I did it,” or “This is good.” It means taking credit, as a self-made being, for simply being who one is. This includes taking credit for one’s accomplishments of character and personal development. […] The two perspectives of pride in the past and pride in the future are inseparable, because one cannot achieve […] Read more »
Most conceptions of divine judgment, such as is found through a superficial reading of Revelation 20:11-15, fixate on actions as the primary subject of evaluation, treating deeds as isolated transactions to be weighed. Yet this perspective fundamentally misunderstands causality: actions are mere effects, outward manifestations of an inner landscape of character, belief and willful focus. While external forces—genetics, upbringing, cultural conditioning—shape this terrain, they never erase the sovereign space of […] Read more »
