Platina Aristasian Philosophy

A section on Aristasian Philosophy may seem, to some extent, a redundancy. All of Aristasia is philosophic. Even the lipstick expresses a philosophical truth.

If one should ask "Where do I look for the philosophical writings in an Aristasian site", the answer must be "everywhere". You will find philosophy mixed in with discussions of the most unlikely things throughout our archives, because for us there is no real distinction between "philosophy" and other areas of life.

A philosophical section is therefore a shade artificial, but nonetheless it is important to set out some of the basic principles of Aristasian thought. This has been nowhere better done than in:

The Feminine Universe by Miss Alice Lucy Trent

If you wish to understand Aristasia as a way of thinking and understanding, your point of departure should be this book. We have included some extracts and a synopsis to here get you started.

Other fundamental papers in Aristasian Philosophy include:

The Pattern of History and

Primordial Maid

 

Aristasian Spirituality

Why do Philosophy and spirituality share the same starting-page? Because in Aristasia the two are so inextricably intertwined that if we made two libraries, it would be hard to know which texts to put in which place.

While there will be devotional and other pieces that clearly belong under "Spirituality" and abstract pieces that are clearly "Philosophy", in many cases the dividing line is subtle and at times non-existent, because Aristasia, like all traditional societies, has an integrated order in which Philosophy, Spirituality and life-in-general are not separate things.

As a starting-point for the specifically spiritual side of Aristasia, we recommend the audio broadcast The Good News of God the Mother or if you prefer the printed word: An Introduction to Aristasian faith and Spirituality.

A more "external" view of Aristasian religion may be found in The Religion of Aristasia and the place to go for all your devotional needs is The Chapel of God the Mother.

You may also like to join the Aristasian Spirituality Group — or just take a look at its archives. They are open to the public.

To understand a litle more of the devotional aspect of Aristasia, you may like to read this charming piece by an Estrenne Ranya: The Gentle way.
