Abstract

Driven by his method of correlation, Paul Tillich critically analyzes the social condition of modern society which is characterized by the growing hegemony of capitalism. Capitalism is viewed not simply as a certain economic arrangement of society but as the embodiment of the religion of reason, namely, the historical project of humanity to realize its utopian goals and longings by the power of science and technology alone. However, by forgetting the awareness of the inherent finitude of reason cultivated by a genuine religious consciousness, mankind is threatened to lose sight of the demonic dimension built-in structurally in the capitalist mode of wealth creation.

Abstract

The article embarks on a critique of man’s advancement in human genetic engineering within the context of the creation process from the perspectives of the creation myths as contained in the literatures of Judeo-Christian and Islamic theologies. The author ventures into the perceptions of Hume and Plato on God and the Igbo (Nigeria) cosmogony. He argues that, through the exploits of the painstaking process of genetic engineering, man has commenced exploring the creation course of action, albeit at the rudimentary stages. The creation of man involved not the magic-wand oversimplification contained in the allegories of Genesis; rather, it took the arduous process of scientific experimentation, embryo culturing and other advanced processes that are beyond man’s contemporary level of technological and scientific know-how. This hypothesis is derived from a contemplative scrutiny of the allegories in the Biblical creation myth and the comparatively more explicit Qur’anic account vis-à-vis man’s exploits in human genetic engineering.The article concludes that man has commenced exploring the pathway to the God in him and will, somewhere along the line in the endlessness of eternity, create in his image and likeness.

Abstract

In the information-saturated culture today identity of the self is getting blurred and pulverized. The situation is disorienting and calling into question the concept of ‘identity’, ‘selfhood’, ‘subject’ or ‘authenticity’. Despite various kinds of method of ‘self-mastery’, the self remains elusive, even more than ever before. This article discusses the problem of ‘self’, not in terms of its ‘essence’, but rather in terms of what s/he does in the practice of the self. Identity is something constructed by the act of searching for meaning. Through ‘moral imagination’, the search for meaning becomes moral responses toward events of humanity. Self is the subject of history that actualizes him/herself through the history of humanity.

Abstract

Film can be philosophical in the sense that it leads to a profound reflexion. But philosophy can also be filmic in that the ideas are alive and imaginative. Notwithstanding such general impression, this article seeks to look at the connection between philosophy and film in a different way. On the one hand each of them has its own peculiar characteristics. On the other, if there is a possible connection at all, it should be a dialogical connection. And the connection is to be viewed in terms of their poetic and narrative relation to the self. Both film and philosophy -in different ways- are activities of converting the outer world into human inner world; both are activities of creating concept (poetic) that reconfigure again and again the narrative of the self.

Abstract

Writing, for Nietzsche, is a very personal endeavor. Nietzsche became Nietzsche through the acts of writing, reading what he has written and re-writing. For a decade or so I have struggled with Nietzsche; I read his books, I wrote essays and I taught on Nietzsche. In this essay I try to answer a personal question: what does reading his books and writing and teaching on Nietzsche mean for who I am today? The second question this essay deals with is how my experiences with Nietzsche’s work influence my view of art. Art is in this essay understood in two ways: first and foremost as the art of living, i.e. how to become what one is, and in the final part of the essay in the narrow sense, i.e. the fine arts.

Abstract

The computer will become more and more influential as a mediator between man and his environment, due to its evolution as a device and increasing ubiquity. A growing number of people will own a personal computer or computer-like devices, such as cell phones, even though a ‘digital divide’ will continue to exist, separating social groups within societies. To denote a computer-mediated environment, the term non-space is proposed, derived from Vilém Flusser’s non-things which basically refers to computer-programs. Non-space is relative, fluid, non-material and non-locatable. Spatial metaphors, still used in present-day computer-interfaces, are inherently deficient and will be replaced by a more direct and intimate interaction with the computer. Life in non-space is essentially provisional, which causes a new existential anxiety. In the not so distant future, large portion of humanity will end up living their lives in ‘augmented reality’, a hybrid of the real world and non-space.
