Key Notes
The class position Jiang ratifies is that one can still follow intuition toward what is good and right without doctrinal knowledge of heaven.
A student argues that genuine goodness requires a real possibility of evil, so willing the good only matters if humans could also choose otherwise.
Jiang restates that answer as a troubling model in which God would need evil in order to produce good, then asks whether a real God would operate that way at all.
In the same move, Jiang insists that God does not command good, evil, or imitation of himself; divine love is noncoercive rather than instructional.
Jiang says the purpose of Purgatory is to cleanse material wants so the soul can remember its origin and reconnect to the good before entering heaven.
Jiang frames love as the fundamental force of the universe, with moral difference arising from whether we move toward or away from it.
Jiang says love is the spark of the Monad inside human beings, and doing good grows that spark and draws people back toward the Monad.
