- 1Satan: SOCIETYOT: Satan was on the heavenly council (Job 1-6) before he was banished to hell
NT: little said, symbolic
Medieval folklore
Russell: The Prince of Darkness
~17th C- Milton's paradise lost
complex, engaging, relatable, protagonist, interesting that his Devil character become a symbol after the decline of belief in an objective devil
~18th C- Rousseau's philosophy
preempted the romantic era to come, sympathetic devil, "Man, look no farther for the author of evil: you are he" -not metaphysical but social symbol - free floating. "Sympathetic, romantic devil, a sad, rebellious power evoking both yearning and pain"
~19th C- Gothe's Faust (mephistopheles)
more of a reflection of Goethe than R
"suave, ironic, ambiguous"
"slick intelligence and superficial charm"
"I feel such compassion of their wretched lives that I hesitate to afflict any more myself" - 2Prince: PHILOSOPHERSRussell: Mephistopheles
Nietzsche- Jesus :) but Christianity :(
"vulgar concept for which we have no need" but Devil is more relatable than God
Beyond good & evil:
"the devil has a most extensive perceptions for God, on the account that he stays so far away from him:- the devil, in effect, as the oldest friend of knowledge
William James- "the world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck"
Freud- symbol of darkness, individual repressions of the unconscious (thinks in mythical, magical & religious ways)
Russell:The prince of darkness
Jung- reflection of the collective unconscious, a type of archetype = "the shadow"
evil is psychological & morally real
"the shadow belongs to the light as the evil belongs to the good" - 3Hell: HOW TO EXPLORE THE DEVIL4 modes:
1) apart from God - contracdicts God & Devil made evil > Russell Meph
2) an aspect of God -God made Devil
3) a fallen angel > Early Church Fathers
4) symbol of human evil > after Medieval folklore
∴ must explore him HISTORICALLY
Russell- Satan:
cannot know "objectively" or "transcendentally" only secondary perception, human experience
we all have experienced "real evil"
beautiful & twisted in its own right, love of the ugly-
"exceeds and transcends what can be expected of an individual human being" - 4Though: THEOLOGIANSTatian:
Humans- image of God
Demons & Devil- image of matter
Pneuma -> Original sin -> psyche
Devil ranges in air & earth, doomed.
Augustine:
devil can never be saved, higher you are in heaven the lower you fall into the pit of hell- hell is literal.
Origen:
Even the devil can be saved- all made from the same souls- doesnt matter how far you fall, just takes a longer time:
aim of soul to be reunited/contemplate God
