Methexiology: Philosophical Theology and Theological Philosophy for the Deification of Humanity Kindle Edition

Methexiology is not a particular theory, but rather a general philosophical orientation. Therefore, in Methexiology: Philosophical Theology and Theological Philosophy for the Deification of Man, Nicolas Laos elucidates the significance of methexiology for the study of ontology, epistemology, ethics, philosophical psychology, theory of justice, philosophy of history, and philosophy of religion. Laos argues that, faced with the modern and the postmodern crises of meaning, we need a new myth, a new spiritual formula, for the resacralization of humanity and the cosmos, without restoring defunct totems, without using tales as "cheap" substitutes for the lack of a life-giving myth, and without negating history. In his Methexiology, Laos studies the "genealogy" of the modern and the postmodern crises of meaning, and, based on his new interpretation of classical Greek philosophy and Hesychasm, proposes methexiology as a way of overcoming the crises of meaning and as a way of resacralizing humanity and the cosmos through a new metaphysically grounded humanism.

"A wonderful book that sets out the palpable connection between ancient Greek philosophy and the teachings of Christ. Through elucidating the teachings of the Hesychast movement in medieval Christianity, Dr. Laos sets forward how the Platonic and Aristotelian teachings of man's striving for union with the Divine prepared the way and set the stage for Jesus. In the process, we may gain an understanding of how it was God's will to use the Greek philosophical precepts to prepare the way for Christ's Light."
--Nicholas F. S. Papanicolaou, author of Bring Down That Wall; Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta; cofounder of the World Public Forum "Dialogue of Civilizations"

"A profound enquiry into the foundations of philosophical theology and a brilliant theological approach to philosophy. The present book by Dr. Nicolas Laos is a must-read for philosophers, theologians, and the researchers of the significant yet elusive interplay between spirituality and politics."
--Roman V. Romachev, author of Competitive Intelligence, Officer (ret.) of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, and CEO and Founder of R-Techno Group (Moscow)

"Dr. Nicolas Laos' book intends to revolutionize our way of thinking by providing us with a new unconventional proposal: to transcend our Westphalian interstate balance-of-power model and to orient international-political thought toward a humanity-centered world order model, in the context of which power will be conceptualized and distributed according to mechanisms of self-consciousness and of communication among conscious human systems."
--Vassilis D. Kopsacheilis, Political Risk Consultant (Athens), author of The Geoentrepreneurs' Empire

Nicolas Laos is a researcher in philosophy and theology affiliated with the Academia Teológica de San Andrés, Mexico (Ukrainian Orthodox Church) and the CASEP at the Metropolitan University of London, while simultaneously consulting internationally in the fields of geopolitics and cultural diplomacy in association with several organizations such as R-Techno (Moscow) and the Institute of Maritime and Economic Studies (London and Athens).

  • Consciousness Otter
    4.0 out of 5 stars Some brilliant, important ideas, but large parts are very hard to plow through.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I have studied and practiced a number of spiritual paths and have had a number of mystical, religious, spiritual, and psychic experiences, so when I read something that makes me say, "I never thought of THAT before but that totally makes sense!" I know that the author has something important to say that the world at large would benefit from. The downside is that the style of writing is such that 99.99% of the world would never be able to plow through this book. The author is an extreme genius, and very knowledgable, but apparently never read Struck & White's "Elements of Style", with the principle, "Omit Needless Words". His interview on Aeon Byte Radio is much more accessible. Here he tends to use 3 syllable words when 2 or 1 syllable words would do. If you have been trained in the use of dictionaries as I have, you can plow through and extract many gems. For example, Christianity is strongly rooted in Greek and Hermetic philosophy, (cf. Jesus Christ, Sun of God for a simpler presentation of this) which Western Christianity then threw out and denied (but Eastern Christianity did not) which screwed up not only Western Christianity but Western Civilization. He goes on to analyze the history of western philosophy and the error of each major philosopher and the negative social repercussions of each error. If you are interested in philosophy and are not afraid of using a dictionary, this is a must-read. If you are a Christian (or an ex-Christian like myself) and can't understand how the inspiring stories of Jesus could have lead to the vicious sadism of the Inquisition, the suppression of knowledge, the chattel-ization of women, etc., etc., this will give some clarity.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must for out-of-the-box political analysts, philosophers and thinkers
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I just started reading this book as an International Relations graduate and currently a professional information analyst. This book is a must for anyone who wishes to understand how politics and polities interact on the geopolitical chessboard. It provocative as it claims that religion is one of the central factors influencing past and current events.
