| Sommario/riassunto: | Can we, who have been touched by the scientific, intellectual, and experimental revolutions of modern and contemporary times, still believe that we as individual persons are immortal? Indeed, is there even good cause to hope that we are? In examining the present relationship of reason to faith, can we find justifying reasons for faith? These are the central questions in this text, a compelling exercise in philosophical theology. Drawing upon the works of William James and the principles of American Pragmatism, the work extrapolates carefully from 'data given in experience' to a model of the cosmic process open to the idea that individual identity may survive bodily dissolution. |
