Logos and Liberation: The Path of Kenosis. Cet article n’est pas disponible.Logos and Liberation: The Path of Kenosis

The history of civilization has been one of empire, slavery, power, and exploitation. The drive to dominate, to control and manage others, to divide the world into masters and servants, to flatten difference and bend the world to our will, has been a driving force of history. This drive for domination manifests in patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, fascism, and technocracy. This grasping for control is the original sin, a false Logos that has obscured the true Logos of creation. In our modern secular world, the concept of Logos has largely been forgotten, yet the false Logos of control remains as strong as ever and threatens to undo civilization itself. Through a path of kenosis, of self-emptying, we can rediscover the true Logos and transform our relationship with the world.
