/lit/ - Literature

I've always been a determinist. I imagine everything in the universe as a metaphysical necessity relating back to God. So basically, I think that the only reason two plus two equals four is because the nature of the divine love determined it and is determining it, and that such a reality where this is not the case is impossible, not because it would have empirical consequences but because such a reality was never in the divine intellect to begin with.
That is to say, metaphysics is prior to epistemology.

I really like this aesthetic.

Who do you relate to?
For me it's a mix up between kierkegaard and jacques maritain.
These two, I remember reading fear and trembling and the range of reason by kierk and maritain respectively and both times thinking "are you me?"
