Pontifical and Promethean man information


In traditionalist philosophy, pontifical man[note 1] is a divine representative (vicegerent of God) who serves as a bridge between heaven and earth. Promethean man, on the other hand, sees himself as an earthly being who has rebelled against God and has no knowledge of his origins or purposes. This concept was notably developed in contemporary language by the Iranian philosopher Seyyed Hossein Nasr.

  1. ^ Nasr 1989, p. 160.
