Contrasting
Left- and Right-wing Values. Having categorically established a
sensual/sensible antithesis between heathen and Christian values, whether noumenal and 'super' or phenomenal and 'standard', I should
like to politicize the issue, so to speak, by making what seems a commonsense
distinction between the left-wing nature of everything heathen and the
right-wing nature of everything Christian, so that the dichotomy between, for
instance, superheathen and superchristian
on the noumenal planes and between heathen and christian on the phenomenal planes assumes a left/right
distinction which will be either 'extreme' or 'moderate', depending on the
plane. Hence the extreme left-wing nature of metachemistry
at the northwest point of the intercardinal axial compass
has to be contrasted with the extreme right-wing nature of metaphysics at its
northeast point. Hence, too, the moderate left-wing nature of chemistry
at the southwest point of the intercardinal axial
compass has to be contrasted with the moderate right-wing nature of physics at
its southeast point. So far so good! The heathen side of things is,
in general terms, sensual and the Christian side of them sensible, which boils
down to an objective/subjective distinction between left- and right-wing criteria.
The heathen is also, be it not forgotten, of a female and therefore
naturalistic character, whether supernaturally so in metachemistry
or naturally so in chemistry, pretty much like fire and water, and thus
contrasts with whatever is of a cultural character, whether culturally so in
physics or superculturally so in metaphysics, as
germane to male-dominated Christian criteria having more to do with vegetation
(earth) and air than with their elemental opposites. But, as we have seen
before, things are not just equivocally or unequivocally hegemonic at the main
points of the intercardinal axial compass, with 'pro'
approaches to positivity and negativity, freedom and
binding (as discussed in a previous blog).
There are also subordinate points germane to the upended gender to be
considered, and those points, whether antimetaphysical
at the northwest, antiphysical at the southwest, antichemical at the southeast, or antimetachemical
at the northeast, also require to be addressed in terms that do ample justice
to their 'anti' approaches to positivity and
negativity, freedom and binding (as also discussed in a previous blog). For that which is antimetaphysical
is less supernatural than anti-supercultural and
therefore we have a duty to regard it less as a manifestation of the Extreme
Left than as one of what could be called the Extreme Anti-Right, as though in a
distinction between noumenal objectivity in metachemistry and noumenal
anti-subjectivity in antimetaphysics. Likewise
that which is antiphysical is less natural than
anti-cultural and therefore we have a duty to regard it less as a manifestation
of the moderate left than as one of what could be called the moderate
anti-right, as though in a distinction between phenomenal objectivity in
chemistry and phenomenal anti-subjectivity in antiphysics.
Across the sensual/sensible axial divide, that which is antichemical
is less cultural than anti-natural and therefore we have a duty to regard it
less as a manifestation of the moderate right than as one of what could be
called the moderate anti-left, as though in a distinction between phenomenal
subjectivity in physics and phenomenal anti-objectivity in antichemistry.
Finally that which is antimetachemical is less supercultural than anti-supernatural and therefore we have
a duty to regard it less as a manifestation of the Extreme Right than as one of
what could be called the Extreme Anti-Left, as though in a distinction between noumenal subjectivity in metaphysics and noumenal anti-objectivity in antimetachemistry.
Hence no less than superheathen and anti-superchristian values hang together in devilish and antigodly vein at the northwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, so does that which is Extreme
Left and Extreme Anti-Right. Hence no less than heathen and anti-christian values hang together in womanly and antimanly vein at the southwest point of the said compass,
so does that which is moderate left and moderate anti-right. Conversely,
no less than Christian (puritan) and anti-heathen values hang together in manly
and antiwomanly vein at the southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass, so does that which is moderate
right and moderate anti-left. Finally, no less than superchristian
and anti-superheathen values hang together in godly
and antidevilish vein at the northeast point of the
said compass, so does that which is Extreme Right and Extreme Anti-Left.
There is no point on this intercardinal compass which
is only this or that, in noumenal extreme or
phenomenal moderate terms. The genders always hang together at the
various points of the said compass, but always in terms of the upending of the
one gender under the hegemonic pressures of the other gender, be it female in
sensuality or male in sensibility, so that both positions at any given point of
the compass have to be considered and granted due articulation. In
general terms, the Left would no more be capable of remaining in hegemonic
positions without the complicity of the Anti-Right than the Right without the
complicity of the Anti-Left. Therefore I have no doubt that the
complicity of the Extreme Anti-Left is crucial to the hegemonic sway of the
Extreme Right, since that which is godly in its superchristian
and supercultural resolve cannot prevail unless all
that is devilish has been antimetachemically
repudiated in an anti-superheathen and
anti-supernatural complementarity which is the antidevilish accomplice of godliness and, hence, of the
unequivocal hegemony of metaphysics at the northeast point of the intercardinal axial compass. Without such a hegemony,
however, antimetachemistry is inconceivable.
