Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
Jiang models angels as organs within a body whose task is to maintain the universe rather than to exercise personal free will.
Jiang says the Empyrean can be understood through a body analogy: angels act like organs with functions inside a total system rather than as freely choosing individuals.
A student says a body implies both interconnectedness and differentiated function because organs work together and each has a role.
Jiang glosses Dante's spheres as organs of the universe, each with a distinct role and purpose within a designed whole.
Jiang identifies God as the brain of the cosmic body while the spheres function as differentiated organs.
