THE_FILIOQUE_THINKING_FROM_A_FUTURE_ORIENTED_AND_TOROIDAL_UNIVERSE
In statesmanship, the question of the Filioque (“and from the Son”) comes in historically, as a principle of economics as, for instance, under Charlemagne (747-814), four centuries after the First Council of Nicaea (325-381 AD), where it was first introduced as a religious article of faith. However, the key to solving the paradox of homoousios (“of the same substance”) implied in the concept of the Filioque is not to address the matter as a religious question, but to solve the epistemological and political problem it poses to the mind, as, for instance, represented in the conflict between Plato and Aristotle. The Filioque is the main axiomatic problem which historically has divided the East from the West.
