The Saving Order of Science: New Atheist Sam Harris’s Scientism is not Fundamentalism but Affective Attachment to a Salvific Epistemology

31/08/2024  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2024.0009

Abstract: The New Atheist movement has been called “fundamentalist” in its allegiance to science. While true that New Atheism is remarkable among the various historical formations of atheism for its championing of the sciences, it is not fundamentalist. Where it does share a resemblance to Christian fundamentalism is in their respective attachments to a salvific epistemology either…

The Therapeutic Role of the Monastic Environment for Individuals with ASC: The Case of Hildegard of Bingen and her Lingua Ignota

31/08/2024  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2024.0008

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show how a monastic environment can be regarded as providing shelter for individuals with autism spectrum condition in the Middle Ages. By drawing on the recent literature in the history of medicine that traces the signs and symptoms of ASC in Hildegard of Bingen, a Benedictine abbess from the twelfth century, we will…

Agalmatophilic Pygmalions: Burke and Winckelmann on the Beautiful and the Sublime

30/04/2024  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2024.0003

Abstract: There is a good chance that “each critic becomes a Pygmalion” (as Leo Curran put it) when they bring the work of art to life in their narcissistic (and almost amorous) attention, unfolding its meaning so that they should be able to write their own interpretation. The starting point of the present text is the perfection…

Taste(s) and common sense(s)

30/04/2024  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2024.0002

Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between common sense and taste in the history of aesthetic thought. “Common sense” guarantees the communication of tastes through different modalities. It can either facilitate agreement among individuals, fostering mutual understanding and envisaging a universal aesthetic community, or provoke disagreement. In the former scenario, common sense is literally…

Nothingness at the Intersection of Science, Philosophy, and Religion

31/12/2023  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2023.0031

Abstract: This contribution examines the effects that a philosophical consideration of nothing has on the debate between theism and atheism. In particular, it argues that surprising conclusions that arise from a close analysis of the concept of nothing result in three claims that have relevance for that debate. Firstly, that on the most plausible demarcation criterion…

Quantum Meta-physics: Nonlocality and Limits of Determinism

31/12/2023  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2023.0030

Abstract: This essay aims to show that the recent development of quantum theory may provide us with an answer to one of the most compelling metaphysical problems, namely the problem of determinism. First, I sketch the conceptual background and draw the distinction between metaphysical and epistemological determinisms. Then, on the ground of the analysis…

From Here to Theology: Response to Joshua Farris

31/12/2023  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2023.0029

Abstract: Joshua Farris usefully applies my distinction between conditioned and de-conditioned philosophy to some limits of science, and the disclosure of the soul. It is argued that further de-conditioning is conducive to answering the profound philosophical questions: What is it to be now?, and What is it to be? but these answers are only adequate when they entail the…

More Substance, Please: A Reply To Michael Esfeld’s Minimalist Ontology of Persons

30/11/2023  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2023.0023

Abstract: Michael Esfeld has recently put forth his ontology of persons, with which he hopes to secure freedom and irreducible personhood as well as scientific realism, all by working with minimal ontological assumptions. I present his view and investigate it, finding it too minimalistic: Esfeld’s featureless matter points do not warrant an emergence of persons from matter,…

De-Conditioning and Images of the Mind: Scientific Images and Dualistic Images

30/11/2023  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2023.0022

Abstract: “De-Conditioning and Images of the Mind” explores the categories of Stephen Priest as developed in his article, “The Unconditioned Soul.” Through an analysis of historical and contemporary examples of the “conditioned” mode in recent philosophical and scientific discussions of the mind, the article articulates limitations of the proposed methods and advances examples…

God and Some Limits of Science

30/11/2023  / 
DOI: 10.14394/eidos.jpc.2023.0021

Abstract: Some problems are too subjective, too intimate, too proximal, to admit in principle of any scientific solution: Why is anything you? Is there free will? Is death the end? Other problems are too objective, too macroscopic: Why is there a universe? Why is there anything? What is it to be? Why does mathematics…
