McNamara proposes a new eschatological form of personalism that is consistent with current neuroscience models of relevant brain functions concerning the self and personhood and that can meet the catastrophic challenges of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEschatological Personalism, rooted in the philosophical tradition of \"Boston Personalism\", takes as its starting point the personalist claim that the significance of a self and personality is not fully revealed until it has reached its endpoint, but theologically that end point can only occur within the eschatological realm. That realm is explored in the book along with implications for personalist theory and ethics. Topics covered include the agent intellect, dreams and the imagination, future-orientation and eschatology, phenomenology of Time, social ethics, Love, the challenge of AI, privacy and solitude and the individual ethic of autarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an innovative combination of the neuroscientific and theological insights provided by a Personalist viewpoint. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars of Cognitive Science, Theology, Religious Studies and the philosophy of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick McNamara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032176008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032176000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Patrick McNamara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075488280831,"sku":"9781032176000","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99d3c799-f9d8-4654-a4d9-5c0c232f769c.jpg?v=1685459720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-neuroscience-and-the-self-patrick-mcnamara-9781032176000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
