Description

Prometheus: A titan, a god, the muddiest human all-father. Envisioning Prometheus as the one that both sees as far as possible and is as prudent as possible, is to this day, the most delicate fruit of humanity's intellectual labor. It is in this proto-philosophical setting, that humanity gets its first theopneust glimpse of the whole picture and its place within it. This world is not just a world of how things are, but exactly in virtue of its being such, it is also a world of how things ought to be. Prometheus is as prudent as possible, exactly because he sees as far as possible. This entails that what we ought to do, is dictated to us by how the world is. We may be epistemically limited, but we are rationally gifted, and that suffices to slowly but surely approach every "is" and every "ought". Prometheus brings us this fire and thus kick-starts our purposeful strife. He is instrumental rationality incarnate, and thus, Prometheus quite fittingly brings us not what he values the most, but the instrument required to acquire it. Prometheus brings us fire, because above all, this spitting image of the best in us, loves truth. And thus Prometheus's real name is Philalethes.
