RAPHAEL ON TRIAL: DIGESTIVE ONTOLOGY AND MILTON'S ABSOLUTION OF GOD.
This paper reconsiders monist materialism in Milton criticism by addressing three issues in Paradise Lost: Raphael's ethos, Raphael's logos, and Milton's utilization of both for his poetic theodicy.

It pays particular attention to the dubious functions of the ethical and logical flaws in Raphael's ontological discourse. This discourse--which I describe as "digestive ontology"--revolves around the concepts of universal materiality and digestive sublimation. It is also what forms the evidential basis of monist materialism. I argue that Raphael's digestive ontology is crucial to Milton's creative objective, precisely because of its numerous dissonances. These dissonances are necessary for Milton's incorporation of God into a narrative and his concomitant absolution of God, as they prompt readers to find the fallible Raphael, not the infallible God, accountable for the Fall. Raphael is thus the crux of Milton's resolution of the metaphysical, epistemological, and theological crises that the problem of evil and the conflicts between narrative and theodicy inevitably present. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Comitatus: A Journal of Medieval & Renaissance Studies is the property of University of California at Los Angeles, Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
