Hugh MacDiarmid's 'On Raised Beach
The poet Hugh MacDiarmid (1892-1978) was the major driving force behind the twentieth-century Scottish literary renaissance and was also a passionate Scottish nationalist. His poem 'On a Raised Beach' (1934) has been understood in theological and philosophical terms as a metaphysical exploration, albeit one grounded in an immediate experience of nature that took place on Shetland. In this paper, MacDiarmid's epic is placed in the context of the p…

Contemplation and the ‘Performative Absolute’
Practices derived from the ‘vita contemplativa’ and other spiritual sources are drawn upon by management, but as the power of human resources management (HRM) is extended so the relationship between ‘contemplation’ and the surrender of self-identity required by HRM demands critical examination. The conscious construction of the individual has become a social and political goal. Subjects are required to strip away attributes of their identity that…

Surrender without Submission
Nature?, Post/Modernity and the Migration of the Sublime
The transformation and attrition of nature under conditions of modernization has been represented as a conflict between ‘first’ and ‘second’ nature. Beyond, as it were, the antithesis of the pre-modern and the modern, a ‘third nature’ of seemingly infinite malleability is associated (e.g.) with cyborgs, virtual reality and genetic engineering under so-called postmodern conditions. It is possible to relate these processes of disembedding and progr…
Religion, Theology and the Human Sciences
Religion, Theology and the Human Sciences explores the religious consequences of the so-called 'end of history' and 'triumph of capitalism' as they have impinged upon key institutions of social reproduction in recent times. The book explores the imposition of managerial modernity upon successive sectors of society and shows why many people today feel themselves to be oppressed by systems of management that seem to leave them no option but to conf…

The dialectics of Globalised spirituality
Values, cultural identity, and European integration
Globalised Religion
This paper tests the hypothesis that contemporary global and globalised religion as exemplified in the Chicago ‘Parliament of the World's Religions’ of 1993 may be regarded as a resource which is central, rather than marginal to current human concerns in a threatened world. The paper is structured as follows. First, a short personal narrative gives some sense of what happened at the Parliament, and how this affected one of those present. Second, …
