Empowering Philosophy and Science with the Art of Love: Lonergan and Deleuze in the Light of Buddhist-Christian Ethics

by John Raymaker

Overview

Philosophy and Science are subject to conflicting interpretations, such as the rules of positivism and analytic thought. Bernard Lonergan and Gilles Deleuze have both assessed such issues in complementary fashion. This book examines their arguments through the application of mathematical theories and Buddhist-Christian ethics. Using a structured analogy based on a spiritual genome, Empowering Philosophy and Science with the Art of Love seeks to bridge the religious-secularist divide exacerbated by postmodernism. The goal is to empower the practitioners of philosophy and science by having them pay heed to the art of ethical virtue.
