Description

The Submerged Reality: Sophiology and the Turn to a Poetic Metaphysics by Michael Martin explores the concept of sophiology as a way of perceiving the divine Wisdom, Sophia. This approach challenges traditional theology and philosophy, instead embracing a poetic intuition that can reunite religion, science, and art. Martin argues that a radicalized orthodoxy in the future will need to incorporate elements from esoteric and gnostic traditions, particularly those related to the feminine principle. He contends that this is necessary to address the limitations of a one-sidedly masculine theology, which has led to the denial of real essences, relations, and gender differences. By examining writers often overlooked by conventional theology, Martin seeks to facilitate a renewal of the life of the Church and its relationship with science and art. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of metaphysics, mysticism, and spirituality, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of the divine and their place within it.
