Last two meetings in our Theology 4 which is about Christian morality, we have discussed about the nature of self and distinction or difference of Moral philosophy from Moral theology.
We elaborated “self” or what is really the meaning of “self”. When someone ask you to describe yourself, we just say our name, age, gender, where we live, our personal attributes and characteristics and so on and so forth. Those are only references of who we are, but the true nature of self is when we get rid of those references. When self encounters reality or experience, we tend to wonder of who we really are, we keep on searching for answers. We search of what will make us happy and search for the truth, because we have the freedom to decide and transform it into meaningful moments or events and translated it into concepts or images. Then we ritualize that concepts and re-interpret it as we cherish that moment until it becomes meaningful and value that result. A concrete example is attending Liturgical mass every Sunday. This cycle can be destroy be issues so we must be responsible and do what is right.
Another topic that we have discussed is about R. Hater’s four mythical meaning. The first step is experience, it may be good or bad. After gaining that experience, we go to the next step which is secondary mythical meaning and followed by primary mythical meaning. The last and important step is core mythical meaning. We cannot attain it if we are not focus. It must be united with our goal and to ourselves. If core is not attain nor destroyed, it will end up to nothing and destruction of our self.
We also differentiate Moral theology from Moral philosophy. In Moral theology, the context is human reason and revelation. Human freedom must be harmonized with revelation. There is an absolute good and absolute truth. God is the center of our life. There is permanency in Moral theology and it prescribe systems,
