- — “Christian
thought stands outside the opposition that is presumed within either a
metaphysics of ontological hypotaxis (such as any idealism describes) or
a metaphysics of ontological rupture (such as postmodernism professes);
it knows only the beauty of being’s parataxis, its open, free, serial,
and irreducible declaration of glory; it grasps being neither as an
immobile synthesis that stands over against and sublates every
utterance, nor as the sheer cacophony of aleatory violence, but as
rhetoric, the outward address and proclamation of the God who has
eternally spoken, who speaks, and who will speak, the God who “others”
himself in himself and contains and surrenders otherness as infinite
music, infinite discourse.” –Adapted from David B. Hart’s The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth— Assignment: Is an ontological peace defensible against postmodernism’s insistence on an inescapable ontological violence at the heart of things? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
