Freedom as a reification comes out of a post bicameral language of self
reflection. While the post mythological freedom philosophies can be very
problematic I disagree with the sublimation to God and community that
you are suggesting. For one thing the rise of the Godhead represented a
decline from a more relational human community that was not so
symbolically compulsive and sublimating. Essentially the ancient state
was made possible by this behavior as the post leftist a-civilization
anarchists rightly point out. The problem is the objective weight of
history in that the rise of literate beings made self reflection
possible but also gave rise to new apparatuses of control.
I
think the answer is to try and key in on an individuating processes
while also not feeding progressive objectively constituting forms of
information registers(easier said then done perhaps). For me the
approach I take would be the Zen approach combined with an anarchic
indigenous orientation. The bioregional movement has some promise in
this regard.
