Bonomythy and the Goodward Life: Sacred-Ethical Invitations to Pause, Prayer, and Politics in Plotinus and Levinas

Drawing on a constellation of insights in Plotinus (third century) and Emmanuel Levinas (1905-1995), I explore an ethically inflected spiritual-political alternative to theology which I call “bonomythy.” Unlike “theology” which offers us a reasoned God-Account, “bonomythy” offers us a lived experien...

520 |a Drawing on a constellation of insights in Plotinus (third century) and Emmanuel Levinas (1905-1995), I explore an ethically inflected spiritual-political alternative to theology which I call “bonomythy.” Unlike “theology” which offers us a reasoned God-Account, “bonomythy” offers us a lived experience at the intersection of goodness (bonum) and transformational narrative (muthos). An alternative to the calculated confines of theology, its ethical framing also avoids the cacophony and coldness of atheisms and the sorts of atheologies which variously draw strength from nothingness, chaos, matter, and the “death of god.” Moreover, prioritizing phenomenological frames over epistemological ones, it is far warmer than the kinds of cool, spiritually-reductive ethics one can find in Kantian frames or in the at times nihilistic logics of deconstruction at play in some postmodern approaches. In its cultivation of ethical desire as a passionate quest for the sacred bound up with doing good in the world, bonomythy emerges as a more ethically-driven alternative not only to theology but to a variety of deconstructive, mystical, and theopoetic atheologies.
