Neochalcedonism – contra caricatures

Q. methodological question: is antinomy in play or not?

A. yes

Q. grammatical question: if yes to antinomies, then what type of analogy is in

play – whatness or thatness?

A. infinite vs finite thatness

With Anselm & Scotus per analogia entis & proportionate causality, re
existential activities, we recognize a qualitative infinity.

Q. ontological question: do we mean nature in the sense of kinds,

quidditatively, or in the sense of original potencies, unitively?

A. potencies, which advert to a prior unity

Q. over against reifying the divine-human distinction, what’s the concrete

reality?

A. we self-appropriate through self-transcendence to become even more of

who we already are in terms of authenticity, for humanization is divinization
(always already being who we’re becoming).

Q. in what sense is NC personalist?

A. there’s no absolutizing of the will or reduction of the person to will (as per
some vulgar existentialism) for desires are dynamically integrated w/
intellect, appetites w/ rationality, existential orientations w/ transcendental
imperatives

The above is how I square the DBH – JDW mutual critiques w/my own
cosmotheandric outlook.

The ex Deo construction of a multiplicative monism such as embraced (istm,

even if variously) by DBH, Milbank, Jordan Daniel Wood, Joe Bracken et al: We
are dealing with universals that are – not different, but – differently
expressed: immanently vs instantiatedly, in/finitely.

Multiplicative refers to generative othering & monism to universals, Immanent

vs instantiated of God vs gods.

Check out this Forging Ploughshares podcast to draw your own conclusions. It
is superb.
