Sola Voluntas
The Tiered Relativism of the Structurization Paradigm.

Sola voluntas™ (Latin, by
will alone) is intended to contrast with the five solas of the Protestant
Reformation:
- sola gratia: Latin, by
grace alone
- sola fide: Latin, by faith
alone
- sola scriptura: Latin, by
Scripture alone
- solus Christus (or Solo Christo): Latin, by Christ
alone
- Soli Deo gloria: Latin,
glory to God alone
The term, sola voluntas refers to the tiered relativism™, a dialectic of
divine and human wills (sola voluntas
divina and sola voluntas
hominis), of the Structurization
Paradigm™:
- From the Via Moderna of William
of Ockham, Robert Holkot, Gregory of Rimini, Gabriel Biel, Pierre d'Ailly,
Jean Gerson, John Buridan, Martin Luther, Roscelin (predecessor), and
others comes the notion that divine structurizations are relative to the
Will (or Covenant) of God.
- From the postist thought of various writers, such as Michel
Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Richard Rorty, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig
Wittgenstein, Jean-François Lyotard, Thomas Kuhn, and Aleister Crowley, is
derived the idea that human, social, and scientific structurizations are
relative to human wills (either individually or operating as groups).
Structurizations (names) are accepted via dominance, utility, or
both, and, through assertions of power, can be deconstructed ("denamed"). Indeed, the universal
deconstruction of dominant structurizations (narratives or
discourses), first, as thought experiments and, second, if considered
desirable in particular instances, as transformations, should be
promoted through public sociologies.
