On Posthuman Theism : God Consciousness And Leslie Dewart (1922-2009)

<p>A characteristic of our time is the absence of a predominant world vision guiding the peoples of the earth. Even our West is without a life-scheme to which the total community at least partially subscribes. All current philosophic blueprints for man and his habitat are minority opinions. As a result there is an openness of mind in our contemporaries to hear the theories of all the groups which make up our human family. It is not surprising then that'so many thoughtful men are energetically curious to find out just how the Catholic Church considers life and society. We are in a time of crisis. A new period of history is aborning. Such a movement carries with it a high responsibility for the men who live in it. Much which we know or knew will go and new things will come. The new structure of things in order to be highly satisfactory should retain the solid values we have gained. [Gustave Weigel (1956:9/10) in Freemantle Anne The Papal Encyclicals in their Historical Context Mentor Books New American Library.] This quote lays the foundation for On Posthuman Theism which critically examines the relationship between conscious human agency and the role of technology environmental and cultural factors making up the 21st Centurys understanding of reality and cosmology.</p>
