Abstract

critical realization that we are to a signi cant de by our and that we thrive best when we maintain a lively and open-ended sense of futurity. Particularly interesting is the critical grounding of this key theological trait in important brain functions, such as the Predictive Processing Framework. personal relationships; and, (3) the state, the fi nal repository of force that irresistibly imposes a settlement on the inevitable con fl icts between individuals and sectional groups within a larger whole … In this threefold distinction between (as the critical realists put it) personal agency, cultural meaning, and social/political struc- ture, the church operates primarily in the intermediate zone of culture, neither privatized to a trivial “ spiritual not religious ” zone of irrelevant lifestyle choices, nor weaponized with the state ’ s coercive machinery, but instead o ff ering a community beyond the family but beneath the state, that seeks to persuade through its shared ritual expression and ethical practice of faith, hope and love. be seen as the general categories pertaining to the person ’ s spontaneous spiritual openness and dynamism to transcendence (in traditional terms, the natural desire for God), while the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love can be seen as the speci fi c content and ful fi lment of those open-ended aspirations.
神经科学和神学之间的相互作用正在产生一种新的人格主义:这是对我的书《宗教、神经科学和自我:一种新的人格主义》的评论的回应。
关键的认识到,我们是一个重要的发展,我们是最好的,当我们保持一个活跃的和开放的未来感。特别有趣的是,这种关键的神学特征在重要的大脑功能(如预测处理框架)中的关键基础。人际关系;(3)国家是力量的最终存储库,它不可抗拒地在更大的整体中对个人和局部群体之间不可避免的冲突施加解决方案……在(如批判现实主义者所说的)个人代理、文化意义和社会/政治结构之间的三重区别中,教会主要在文化的中间区域运作,既不是私有化为无关紧要的生活方式选择的琐碎的“精神而非宗教”区域,不是用国家的强制机器武装起来,而是建立一个超越家庭但在国家之下的社区,通过共同的仪式表达和信仰、希望和爱的道德实践来寻求说服。被视为与人自发的精神开放和超越的动力有关的一般类别(在传统术语中,对上帝的自然渴望),而信仰,希望和爱的神学美德可以被视为这些开放式愿望的具体内容和充分实现。
