| If Wittgenstein is right, and
language is more than just a tool we use, and is in fact
something we exist within, then what does this 'say' about the
nature of reality?
The 'person paradigm' is an
alternate perception reality, rooted in
personhood, and in the speaking dynamic of God's Creative Word,
and the hearing or receiving dynamic of the feminine Wisdom.
Humanity, and all reality, is
sourced and exists in this linguistic fiat.
I am drawing on the philosophy
of George Berkeley, traditional Australian Aboriginal
concepts and cosmologies, and primitive
Christianity.
Even the cutting edge of
Western Physics, quantum mechanics,
demands a paradigm shift from the standard Western 'thing'
philosophy, to a worldview where 'person' is seen as the stuff
of reality.
Given humanity exists in
personhood, its quite reasonable for personhood to be central to
any human model of reality.
