Or, Discourses On The Dharma Of Civilization & Its Odyssey Toward International Harmony: A Treatise On Intercosmopolitan Realpolitik Grounded By The Logical Necessity Of Civilizationism

“G.R. Tomaini is a highly ambitious poet-philosopher obsessed with encyclopedic scope yet mindful of how contingency and incongruity undercuts any grand system in philosophy.” – Dr. Cornel West

This groundbreaking exploration intertwines the enigmatic realms of consciousness and civilization. Authored by G.R. Tomaini, this compelling philosophical treatise invites readers to delve into the depths of the human psyche, unveiling the profound connections between individual awareness and the evolution of society.

Tomaini deploys the term Tractatus (Latin for “treatise”) to evoke images of prominent philosophical works such as Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-PhilosophicusTractatus Perfectio-Philosophicus (Treatise on Philosophical Perfection) demonstrates its philosophical lineage by adopting a similar title, aspiring towards the goal of a philosophical framework that lays the foundations for the betterment of civilization.

Following on from G.R. Tomaini’s Encyclopedia of American Idealism and influenced by renowned academics such Cornel West, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Slavoj Žižek, and Gary Dorrien — a student of John Rawls — Tractatus Perfectio-Philosophicus invites the reader to undertake an exploration of civilization’s journey towards harmony. Building upon Derek Parfit’s groundbreaking insights, Tomaini delves into the ethical thought of Kant, Hegel, Rawls, and Parfit, offering a transformative vision of Leibnizian dialectical harmonism that transcends dialectical materialism.

At the heart of this thought-provoking narrative lies a bold proposition: the shaping of consciousness through philosophy can catalyze a paradigm shift in the zeitgeist, leading to the emergence of a genuinely ethical civilization. Delving into the philosophical currents that have shaped our understanding of existence, the book skillfully navigates the interplay between individual awareness and the collective consciousness that defines civilization. Furthermore, the phenomenologies of John Keats, the Marquis de Sade, and Lord Byron are psychoanalyzed to yield a theory of the fashionable consciousness, shedding light on civilization’s odyssey towards international harmony and its eventual embrace of the democratic consciousness.

However, the zeitgeist does not automatically lead to the benefic consciousness required for an optimal civilization. The concept of benefic consciousness (similar to the Greek notion of eudaimonia) reveals the democratic consciousness, understood as the summation of ethical rights embodied by a single modality of consciousness. From this, a new ethical civilization emerges revolving around core principles of morality.

Tractatus Perfectio-Philosophicus beckons scholars, philosophers, and seekers alike to reevaluate their perceptions of consciousness urging them to recognize the pivotal role philosophy plays in sculpting the collective ethos. In a world yearning for ethical guidance, this book stands as a beacon, illuminating the path toward a moral civilization that beckons us all. Prepare to be captivated, enlightened, and inspired to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and societal transformation.
