“The moment is pregnant with potentialities, for a new paradigm uniting the world’s peoples in a new Renaissance, based on science and the best of each nation’s classical culture. This will not come from Donald Trump; but the fact that he is breaking the chains of the British Empire, working with Russia and potentially also with China for world development, provides the basis for the world to respond to the historic leadership of Lyndon LaRouche for a new, truly human world.”

BRITISH FRANTIC TO DESTROY TRUMP, SAVE THE EMPIRE/LAROUCHE/PAC

This report on the method of the transformative art of design and the following brief correspondence between Philip Ulanowsky and Pierre Beaudry were written for the benefit of the members of the LaRouche organization who are curious researchers of the intention behind artistic compositions.

The method, specifically developed by the American artist Benjamin West, was aimed at causing an axiomatic change in the cultural domain of Europe and America during the second half of the eighteen century by transforming the art of historical painting. The method was largely misunderstood and sabotaged by Wall Street protagonists and was ultimately relegated to oblivion during the second half of the nineteenth century.

The recovering of this method is aimed at reviving the crucial insights of Benjamin West and the historical role of the American Academy of Design for a future renaissance in artistic composition.

BENJAMIN WEST AND PETER BRUEGEL THE ELDER: THE TRANSFORMATIVE ART OF DESIGN

On New Year’s Eve, the LaRouche Policy Committee proposed a reflection on Leibniz’s Theodicy as a New Year’s resolution. That is an excellent suggestion, because the year 2017 is the year of a world axiomatic change for global development, and such a development will not take place without resolving the political dimension of the Augustinian paradox known as “felix culpa.”

A NOTE ON LEIBNIZ’S CONCEPTION OF ‘FELIX CULPA’

XI JINPING ON VIRTUE

According to a Dec. 10, 2016 account in Xinhua, Chinese President Xi Jinping noted that “law is virtue put down in words, and virtue is law borne in people’s hearts,” and that both combined are essential to the proper governing of society and states.

Xi emphasized the “nourishing effect” of virtue and the importance of education in fostering virtue in order to “guide people to voluntarily assume their statutory duties, as well as responsibilities for society and family.” He stated that the rule of law should embody moral ideals and provide reliable institutional support for virtue such that “laws and regulations should promote the virtuous.” (Xi Jinping, http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-12/10/c_135895641.htm)

LEIBNIZ ON VIRTUE

“VIRTUE is the habit of acting in accordance with wisdom, because it is necessary that practice accompany knowledge, in order that the exercise of good actions become easy, natural, and turn to habits, such that habits become a second nature.” (G. W. Leibniz, Textes inédits.)

“Thus, the sovereign wisdom has so well regulated all things that our duty must also be our happiness, that all virtue produces its own reward, and that all crime punishes itself, sooner or later … [This] is proper in order that there be re exercise of free virtue, of wisdom and of a non-mercenary love of God…

          “Justice is goodness conformed to wisdom … Justice is nothing else than the charity of the wise, that is to say, goodness toward others which is conformed to wisdom. And wisdom, in my sense, is nothing else than the science of felicity.”

“The most perfect society is that whose purpose is the universal and supreme happiness.”

“Happiness is the point which centers all those duties which individuals and nations owe to themselves; and this is the great purpose of the law of nature. The desire of happiness is the powerful spring that puts man in motion: felicity is the end they all have in view, and it ought to be the grand object of the public will …To succeed in this, it is necessary to instruct the people to seek felicity where it is to be found; that is, in their own perfection…” (Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, ‘On Natural Law,’ c.1690.)

WELCOME TOTHE NEW PARADIGM SHIFT AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The purpose of this paper is to focus your mind on the boundary conditions of human knowledge and study what takes place in the course of an axiomatic change in the three domains of theology, epistemology, and plasma physics.

The point is not to map the theological, epistemological, and plasma physics domains onto one another, but to understand how those three different fields are based on a similar principle of composition, notably, the same triply-connected process of axiomatic transformation.
