Disappearance of the Person (Part VI)

Description

Continuing my history of the split between "Science and the Person" (title of my latest book — look it up). I left off in Part V: Explaining Everything and Nothing. This Part VI moves on in the history of Modern Science to recount how its gradual progression into extreme and political forms of Rationalism ("we will explain everything") and Empiricism ("nothing can be explained") amounts to the two jaws of Scientism gaping and threatening to swallow personhood. This leaves us today with a severe existential crisis, aggravated by AI and other weaponised technology. Only the faith in a personal God, and with it, in our own sacred human personhood, can deliver us. Read my latest book, Science and the Person.
