Beyond 'Persona-Petrification' to the Primacy of the Human Act: The Uniqueness of Anwar Frangi's Thought.

Title: Beyond ‘Persona-Petrification’ to the Primacy of the Human Act: The Uniqueness of Anwar Frangi’s Thought. Description: This article presents the first systematic exposition of Anwar Frangi's unique philosophical, political, and theological system. Frangi's central discovery is that "human activities are at risk of extinction" due to what he calls persona-petrification: the freezing of living personhood into fixed identity through self-perpetuation from without via subjugation and monopolization of the Other. The article unfolds Frangi’s fundamental equation C = T + E (Creation = Transgression + Effort), showing how creation and transgression are equivalent within the same movement of a human act. It then examines his political philosophy (Democracy of History, Noetic Justice, Creocracy), where governance is based on creative activities rather than persons, with groupal rotation preventing petrification. It then explores Groupal Religion, where the group as “pure activity” exists as “itself-other-than-itself,” experiencing and living the beliefs, traditions, and ways of life of others. Finally, it presents Groupal Theology’s U-Turn: God gives personhood as gift; humans ruin it through petrification; the group intervenes as pure activity; persons are purified; and re-linked to God as Pure Person = Pure Activity (A=B). This exposition is authorized by Professor Anwar Frangi and reflects decades of collective engagement with his Oral Summer Groupal Seminars (OSGS, 1998-present). The article includes a glossary of key terms and comprehensive references to primary and secondary sources.
