If we no longer differ between what is existential essential and what is not, we loose logos as the measurement of being. Without this logos, sphere of politics, science, education, moral and art will blur and sooner or later disappear.

The essence of freedom
The essence of freedom is to live in order of one’s nature, and not deny or conquer the essence of the self. To live in order of one’s nature, human must embrace the truth about one’s own essence. Without this honesty and courage, the soul will live in disorder and captivity.
Religious belief in seculars myths
If human try to remove religious belief from the public sphere, it will live as hidden seculare mythes. The human ability to belive, is not removed from our reality by turning the society secular.
The essence of truth
What is true is worth caring for. Real knowledge, wisdom, religious faith or art is all accomplishments that unfolds essences of human existence and it is these essences that makes them care-able. Truth is not about utility, effect or control. Truth is about caring. To know what to care for, human must unfold the essence of Mankind. This is a ethical pragmatism, it is humanism and it is a respect of truth that is necessary to escape totalitarianism. There is no truth about the human existence without ethic.
Another song for the Muse
when she smiles
you can feel her soul from the distance
and from her eyes
her wisdom unfolds like a rose
she is sunrise
gathered by the crowd
her soul do shine of all she knows
she proves the holy spirit can stil arise
Education and rationality
The essential question of education is what form of rationality do have the power in classroom. This is the fight between utility, logic, ethic, estethic, patic, epic, metaphysic, existential or politics. This fight is not exclusiv, but overlapping. All forms are vital, but the differences creates recistance and power.
Methodological atheism
Positivisme and other concepts of methodological atheism do reduce the truth into probabilities. Truth as truth contains metaphysic or mystic which can not be unfold by only studying empirical conditions.
Theology and Wisdom
The dialectical movment between faith and truth needs balance. Polarization, assimilation or annihilation of one or the other ends in fundamentalism. Both faith and truth will always exist and is part of the sphera of reason. The search for truth without faith becomes scientific fundamentalism, when knowledge turns into faith. The search for faith without knowledge becomes religious fundamentalisme, when faith turns into knowledge.
Scientific fundamentalisme is occupied with methodological atheism. In critizism we trust! Religious fundamentalisme is occupied with fatalistic moralism. In God we trust! Both position is an attempt to escape reality in a quest of freedom.
To be in reality and to be as free as human can be in life, we need a dialectical reasoning caring for both faith and truth.
Metaphysic in the age of enlightenment
The idea of progression came with the Enlightenment. The metaphysical belief that the world could get better by the hands and thoughts of Mankind.
On human nature
Human can not be in harmony with it’s own inner self, without knowing its nature. To know one’s nature is to acknowledge feelings, preferences, desires, needs, aversions, values, thoughts and other inner experiences that ignites one’s attention, reactions and behavior. People denying their nature will be out of balance and burn their soul down. Human can not escape their own nature.
