The purpose of this book is to use neuroscience discoveries
concerning religious experiences, the Self and personhood to
deepen, enhance and interrogate the theological and philosophical
set of ideas known as Personalism. 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
21st century. Eschatological 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. This 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.
