The philosophical thought that developed in societal culture from the hero/saint concept and conversion has shifted unto a romantic and enlightenment pattern of change.
Paving the way into the renaissance period of history, Saint Francis adds the concept of romantic love, the amor, person to person relationship that transcends the idea of Saint Peter’s concept of kenosis love, unconditional love. Joseph Campbell stated that the “love come from the meeting of the eyes was of a higher spiritual value” (Ambrosio lecture 15). Saint Francis believed the Provencal troubadour’s expression of love in the charm of poetry and song describing the relationship between one person and another could be converted to the service of the Christian faith and …show more content…

The further one travels down the road of individualism of the saint, the closer one gets to the edge of the hero’s perspective of impersonal worldview declares Dr. Ambrosio. The “dream of conversion in other words, would prove to be an illusion” (Ambrosio 17) and therefore making way for the next step on our search for meaning of life.
The rise of empirical method of science continues the mutation of the cultural worldview of the saint and embarrasses the idea secular idea of Greek hero worldview. The view impersonal worldview is viewed through the lens of mathematics and human observation. Let the senses guide and direct this neutral reality, impersonal reality that increases scientific knowledge to pull the individual from the religious worldview of the past to the enlightenment of …show more content…

The Enlightenment Age did not necessarily bring any new ideas, but rather resurfaced the classical Greek hero characteristic trait of competitiveness and citizenship through a social contract for the growth and development of the nation-state by capitalism. Also liberalism within that nation-state defined the citizen’s willingness to be governed for the sake of rights and responsibilities for the purpose of economic growth. The idea is fed by the impersonal philosophy of knowledge obtained by empirical science. Martin Luther contradicted the Holy Roman Catholic Church with the belief in grace over works. But ultimately lead individuals further away from God with what Kierkegaard called Christendom, a contemporary society of self-righteous complacent Christians. In regards to Kierkegaard’s absurd faith “for in the temporal world God and I cannot talk together, we have no language in common” (Kierkegaard 30) and therefore the absurd thought of a relationship with the eternal is completely on
