Produktinformationen zu „Hellfire and Lightning Rods (PDF)“
Renowned philosopher Frederick Ferre invites us to contemplate a new world to be constructed out of the debris of modernity. Hellfire and Lightning Rods displays a vision in which the dichotomies between religion, philosophy, science, and technology can be seen as too-narrow construals of a single, but polyvalent, organic world.
Ferre wisely notes that the conceptual worlds of premodern animism, modern "scientism," and biblical orthodoxy have major internal flaws and create immense practical problems. Yet, while they are largely unconvincing to persons who see the need for "postmodern" approaches, a successor to these views is nowhere near universally accepted. In that context, Ferre suggests that an important interim worldview that he calls "multi-mythic organicism" will help humanity recover spiritual dimensions now lacking.
