The book explores the relationship between Christology and
theological anthropology through the lens provided by the theology
of Karl Barth and the mind/body discussion in contemporary
philosophy of mind. It thus comprises two major sections. The first
develops an understanding of Karl Barth's theological anthropology
focusing on three major facets: (1) the centrality of Jesus Christ
for any real understanding of human persons; (2) the resources that
such a christologically determined view of human nature has for
engaging in interdisciplinary discourse; and (3) the ontological
implications of this approach for understanding the mind/body
relationship. The second part draws on this theological foundation
to consider the implications that Christological anthropology has
for analyzing and assessing several prominent ways of explaining
the mind/body relationship. Specifically, it interacts with two
broad categories of theories: 'nonreductive' forms of physicalism
and 'holistic' forms of dualism. After providing a basic summary of
each, the book applies the insights gained from Barth's
anthropology to ascertain the extent to which the two approaches
may be considered christologically adequate.
