It became a political‐theological tool used by Muslim preachers and activists across the globe.

It then touches upon the close relationship between theology and scientific knowledge in the history of Islam. The main focus concerns how science is situated and defined in Islamic literature, with particular references to traditional Muslim commentaries and treatises. It also concerns the way Muslim exegetical figures and traditionalists are encouraged or discouraged from taking science into account based on the Qurʾān and prophetic traditions.","PeriodicalId":171608,"journal":{"name":"Zygon®","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136080023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"THE QURʾĀN AND <i>ZYGON</i>","authors":"Arthur C. Petersen","doi":"10.1111/zygo.12934","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/zygo.12934","url":null,"abstract":"This issue of Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science, the last one published with Wiley, contains three thematic sections: on “The Qur’ān and Science” (see below), on “AI Relationality and Personhood,” and on this year's Boyle Lecture. For background articles pertaining to the latter two sections, I refer the reader to the articles written by Fraser Watts and Marius Dorobantu (AI Relationality and Personhood) and by Fraser Watts (Boyle Lecture 2023). The thematic section on “The Qur’ān and Science,” which contains a three-part series of articles by Majid Daneshgar, explores the formation, development, and future of the scientific interpretation and scientific miraculousness of the Qurʾān with reference to the work of major and lesser known authors across the world in various languages. It examines the historical and social process through which the “scientific interpretation” of the Qurʾān turned into “scientific miraculousness,” in particular, the deep methodological differences between the two. The first part describes how science is situated and defined in Islamic literature. The second part discusses the scientific interpretation of the Qurʾān both inside and outside the Muslim world. The third part discusses the creation and development of the scientific miraculousness of the Qurʾān, which claims that the Qurʾān contains scientific findings and has particular scientific features. The “Articles” section contains six articles. In the first article, Di Di, Stephen Cranney, Brandon Vaidyanathan, and Caitlin Anne Fitzgerald, using representative survey data for India, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, show that also scientists—like the general population—feature positive associations between religiosity/spirituality and mental health outcomes; they draw out implications from their study for studying this relationship for other professions. In the second article, Abdullah Ansar and Shahbaz Haider explore the essence of the human (insān) as it is understood in Twelver Shīʿī philosophy and mysticism; it presents a Shīʿī philosophical elucidation regarding the possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms and what their relationship with “humanhood” might be. In the third article, Robert Elliot brings comparative and developmental psychology to bear on Christian theological anthropology; he shows how the phenomenon of “joint attention” sheds new light upon the Christian doctrine that human beings are created in the image of the Trinity (imago Trinitatis). In the fourth article, Deborah Mackay, a scientist-minister, explores the biological metaphor of the open-ended processes of life vis-à-vis the New Testament metaphor of the Body of Christ; she draws several implications for the life of the church. In the fifth article, John Henry offers a historical lens on science and the “general resurrection”; discussing leading early modern natural philosophers from England he highlights how the general resurrection played less of","PeriodicalId":171608,"journal":{"name":"Zygon®","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136079449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"ATTENDING TO ATTENTION","authors":"Rowan Williams","doi":"10.1111/zygo.12920","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/zygo.12920","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Attention has often been seen as a selective process in which the mind chooses which already‐formed objects to focus on. However, as Merleau‐Ponty and others have pointed out, this ignores the complexity and ambiguity of sensory information and imposes on it a set of already‐formed objects in the world. Rather, attention is a process by which objects in the world are constituted by the perceiving subject. Attention thus involves a process of mutual negotiation with the environment. There are connections between this and the process of attente described by Simone Weil, in which the perceiving subject suspends the dominant preoccupations of the ego in order to become more aware of an independent reality. This, in turn, expresses in a more modern idiom what early Christian teachers had to say about the role of attentive looking in the contemplative life.","PeriodicalId":171608,"journal":{"name":"Zygon®","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These researchers—namely, Michael Tomasello, Malinda Carpenter, and others affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology—have advanced a theologically significant hypothesis about a basic difference between the social‐cognitive capacities of human beings and those of other animals. Their hypothesis is that human beings are distinguished from other animals, in part, because of an ability to share attention with conspecifics in a unique way, namely, by means of a capacity called joint attention. In keeping with the procedures of modern science, they have tested and verified their hypothesis through laboratory experiments on nonhuman primates (chimpanzees in particular) and on human beings (infants and toddlers). In their capacity as scientists, however, they do not attempt show the relevance of their hypothesis for Christian theological anthropology. This article shows how joint attention sheds new light upon the Christian doctrine that human beings are created in the image of the Trinity (imago Trinitatis).","PeriodicalId":171608,"journal":{"name":"Zygon®","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135783984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HUMAN CYBORG AND NONHUMAN PERSONHOOD","authors":"Léon Turner","doi":"10.1111/zygo.12923","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/zygo.12923","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract In this article, I assess (1) whether some cyborgs and AI robots can theoretically be considered persons; and (2) how we will know if/when they have attained personhood. Since our discourses of personhood are inherently pluralistic and our concepts of both humanness and personhood are inherently nebulous, both some cyborgs, and some AI robots, I conclude, could theoretically be considered persons depending on what, exactly, one means by “person.” The practical problem of how we distinguish them from nonpersonal AI entities is, however, both more important, and much more difficult to solve. In conversation with various secular and theological accounts of relational personhood, I argue that only by treating AI entities as persons by default might we avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of mistakenly denying personhood to an entire group of eligible entities.","PeriodicalId":171608,"journal":{"name":"Zygon®","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135784188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
