“Things Counter, Original, Spare, Strange”: Developing a Postfoundational Transversal Model for Science/Religion Dialogue

Abstract: This second of three articles outlining the development and practice of a different approach to neurotheology discusses the construction of a suitable methodology for the project based on the work of J. Wentzel van Huyssteen. It explores the origin and contours of his concept of postfoundational rationality, its potential as a locus for epistemological parity between science and religion and the distinctive and unique transversal space model for interdisciplinary dialogue which he builds on these. It then prop… Show more

“…The ramifications of such questions are particularly acute for any effort to develop a coherent account of what form neurotheology might take. However, as I will subsequently argue and then demonstrate in the second and third articles of this set (Bennett , ), conceiving this in terms of a transversal venture and allying the construct to a suitable methodology, provides one way of negotiating these various difficulties. It also, as I will discuss in the second article, opens up the possibility of a new way of integrating theological and scientific insights to generate a discourse that is both coherently and distinctively neurotheological.…”

“…Ashbrook's project is essentially one of integration giving the human brain privileged status as an analogical expression of God (Ashbrook , 65–81), and fashioning a holistic understanding of the spiritual, psychological, and neurological dimensions of personal and spiritual life (Albright , 480). Some elements of the way he approaches this task would actually sit very comfortably within the postfoundational dynamics that I will be setting out in the next article (Bennett ), for example, his engagement with an eclectic mix of sources, and the imaginative leaps he makes in connecting these up and drawing out inferences. However, these are also a source of some of the difficulties into which his project runs—partly because of the nature of the neuroscientific data he draws on and partly because of the way in which he then builds on these.…”
