St. Thomas Aquinas claimed that angels and the first couple (Adam and Eve) were unable to commit mortal sins because they were granted immunity from concupiscence.<\/p>\n
[Now, consider Adam and Eve from the same perspective.\u00a0 We cannot know the horizontal axis for the mythic figures, but we can explore models through art.<\/p>\n
Here, I turn to An Archaeology of the Fall<\/i>, where Adam and Eve are depicted as mythic figures implicated in the transition from hand speech talk to speech alone talk.\u00a0 They held all the attributes of hand speech talking cultures except for one trait, they practiced a different way of talking.<\/p>\n
So I can ask: Were the people living in the Lebenswelt of hand speech talk gifted with immunity from concupiscence?<\/p>\n
Concupiscence points to sinful action arising from both consciencelacking<\/sup> and dispositionfalse reward<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Could this reflect the Lebenswelt of hand speech talk (including, by extension, the Lebenswelt that we evolved in)?<\/p>\n The answer is no.<\/p>\n The vertical axis of the intersecting nested form, with \u201cthink\u201d as the normal context, could not be composed of two exclusive yet interpellating symbolic orders because the formation of two exclusive (purely) symbolic orders is only possible under the conditions of speech alone talk, that is, under conditions of where language is composed only of symbols (thus, capable of constructing any number of specialized symbolic orders). ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary of text [comment] page 29 St. Thomas Aquinas claimed that angels and the first couple (Adam and Eve) were unable to commit mortal sins because they were granted immunity from concupiscence.
