The Function of Philosophy
Roland Faber in his book “The Becoming God” “Process Theology, Philosophy, and Multireligious Engagement,” said [Philosopher Alfred North] “Whitehead in his last book, Modes of Thought (1937), presented to us with a surprising appeal to the inevitable relationship between society, philosophy, and mysticism. This triangulation may be established in two steps. First, Whitehead holds that it is one of the most important functions of philosophy to provide society with ever-fresh conceptualizations of reality so as to avoid the petrification of its life into doomed repetitions of its past."
Taking this first step of philosophy in consideration, I wonder how many folks are interested in not concretizing their notion of God by their readings of our ancient texts. Further, are there folks who would like to explore the more contemporary notions of God evolving from our knowledge of Quantum Physics? Still further, can these new revelations shed greater light on our place in this world that understands far more than ever before?
Perhaps we already have a fixed mindset that says, “Don’t confuse me with facts, my mind is already made up?” Just wondering!
