A systematic philosophy treatise envisioning a total work of art for the Information Age at the intersection of Christianity and critical theory, composed by the woman behind the band Liturgy
The System of Transcendental Qabala is Hunter Hunt-Hendrix’s debut philosophical treatise. It examines theology, metaphysics, aesthetics and other topics in a series of meditation mapped to the liturgical year. Culminating in a vision of the total work of art in the age of contemporary technology, the text draws from psychoanalysis, German Idealism, Jewish Kabbalah and Orthodox Christanity. A key thesis is that philosophy can’t exist separately from art, music and politics. Another is that modernity has disguised the fundamentally religious nature of all of these disciplines to a degree that is no longer beneficial to civilization, but that its transcendental incision into the real has also unlocked new resources for spiritual and creative synthesis.
