Ethics Occupies A Central Place In Philosophy Because It Is Concerned With Sin, With The Origin Of Good And Evil And With Moral Valuations. And Since These Problems Have A Universal Significance, The Sphere Of Ethics Is Wider Than Is Generally Supposed. It Deals With Meaning And Value And Its Province Is The World In Which The Distinction Between Good And Evil Is Drawn, Evaluations Are Made And Meaning Is Sought.

The Essential In Artistic Creativity Is Victory Over The Burden Of Necessity. In Art, Man Lives Outside Himself, Outside His Burdens, The Burdens Of Life. Every Creative Artistic Act Is A Partial Transfiguration Of Life. In The Artistic Concept Man Breaks Out Through The Heaviness Of The World. In The Creative-artistic Attitude Towards This World We Catch A Glimpse Of Another World.

The Uniting Of Orthodoxy With State Absolutism Came About On The Soil Of A Non-belief In The Divineness Of The Earth, In The Earthly Future Of Mankind; Orthodoxy Gave Away The Earth Into The Hands Of The State Because Of Its Own Non-belief In Man And Mankind, Because Of Its Nihilistic Attitude Towards The World. Orthodoxy Does Not Believe In The Religious Ordering Of Human Life Upon The Earth, And It Compensates For Its Own Hopeless Pessimism By A Call For The Forceful Ordering Of It By State Authority.

The Central Idea Of The Eastern Fathers Was That Of Theosis, The Divinization Of All Creatures, The Transfiguration Of The World, The Idea Of The Cosmos And Not The Idea Of Personal Salvation...only Later Christian Consciousness Began To Value The Idea Of Hell More Than The Idea Of The Transfiguration And Divinization Of The World...the Kingdom Of God Is The Transfiguration Of The World, The Universal Resurrection, A New Heaven And A New Earth.
