Theological Science* and Refining the Democratic and Republican Parties, I

The Democratic and Republican parties have degenerated to their lowest point of human thinking. This lowest point of thinking was attained when politicians introduced the method of thought known as ‘the negative.’ Unfortunately, the politicians misused this powerful mental tool immediately.

I believe that the negative is misused because politicians do not know that Plato was the first person to develop and use ‘the negative.’ In his Sophist at 257b Plato says, When we speak of ‘that which is not,’ it seems that we do not mean something contrary to what exists but only something that is different.1 The negative is only a way to shift our mind from one idea to a different idea. The negative is a way to judge ideas. It is not a way to judge a person.

* Theological science unifies scientific thoughts with people’s thoughts about God.
