This book provides a creative and highly imaginative critical
theological genealogy of modern secular reason and the nature of
modernity more generally. Francesca Murphy offers a critical
perspective that shapes the exploration of modernity, driven by
Catholic traditions and sources. Murphy’s method is unique: she
uses artificial intelligence as her framing parable, analyzing the
nature and limits of the robotic ‘reasoning’ of several AI
characters (Pistis, Gnosis and Cultus). This enables her to develop
several interrelated themes, with further didactic chapters
offering a mytho-poetic retelling of human history. Her reflections
on the absence of creativity and any meaningful relation to
‘time’ further renders an acute critique of the limits of
technological rationality. The end result is an unusual and
compelling exploration of rationality and fundamental theological
anthropology.
