In gesprek met Cornel du Toit oor ’n ontwaakte heelal in diskoerse oor panpsigisme
In conversation with Cornel du Toit about an awakened universe in discourses about panpsychism. This article employs panpsychism as its primary methodological framework. Consciousness has often been regarded as inferior regarding criticism and dismissal in the philosophy of science. Drawing on Pieter Crafferd’s influential work, The fabric(ation) of consciousness: A neuro-ecological perspective, this article adopts a pragmatic approach with a par…
The sublimity of the Absurd as a paradox in physics and metaphysics
We, as Homo sapiens, are inconsistent creatures. One minute, we might be overflowing with energetic feelings of vitality, meaning, and purpose; the next, we might suddenly feel sapped by a nagging sense that nothing we do really signifies anything grand or important. Ultimately, nothing we do matters at all. French thinker Albert Camus (1913–1960) was fascinated by this inconsistency. In his 1942 essay ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’, he sets out to explo…
God-free energy and evolutionary epistemology
This article investigates the reasons behind interwovenness and the profound philosophical thought that a God must be a part of the brain’s predictive processing entropies. The article accomplishes this by utilising South African theologian Wentzel J. van Huyssteen’s epistemological consciousness as an added benefit in examining our planet and, as a result, our cosmic universe, which transcends human God notions. This article caters for academics…
A Systematic Theological comparison of Religious Iconography
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies is an acclaimed journal with broad coverage that promotes multidisciplinary, religious, and biblical aspects of studies in the international theological arena. The journal’s publication criteria are based on high ethical standards and the rigor of the methodology and conclusions reported
Transcendence and immanence into or onto creative pluralism in South Africa
Two philosophical tools are used in this article, namely (1) that of philosophical-pluralism and (2) transcendent pluralism as a kind of glue to enhance our examining of creative pluralism. There is a diversity implant in positive modus of understanding this pluralistic pristine of creative pluralism within transcendence modus. To help facilitate this pluralistic pristine, the author makes use of three constructivist paradigms that are distinguis…
Cosmogonic or creation myths A mythical, philosophical and theological interpretation of the diverse cosmogonic myths
Cosmogonic myths, also referred to as creation myths, are theological and philosophical explanations of ancient myths of creation within a religious Homo sapien hamlet. In the context of this article, the word myth is attributed to the extravagant quixotic interpretation in anecdote (in both visionary and narrative sense) of what is accomplished or ceased as a key or essential phenomenon. The terms or language concepts of cosmogonic or creation i…
Transcendence, immanence and religious experience in a post-transcendence era
This article presents and critically discusses transcendence and immanence as discussed by the contemporary South African theologians Cornel W. du Toit, Klaus Nürnberger and Anné H. Verhoef. Two questions categorise and guide the discussion: (1) If Western thought has already moved to a notion of post-transcendence, why does transcendence still resonate in our religious academic context? Why is transcendence and immanence still discussed, interpr…
Spiritualiteit
Spirituality, a theological paradigm of the Spirit and hope as cosmogenesis, correlation and mystical experience. Anselm of Canterbury s well-known enunciated expression fides quarens intellectum (faith seek understanding) in his search for the existence of God, according to me, forms a very important belief synthesis with regard to the term spirituality, and everything that is accompanied with the term. Why? Because Anselm s evidence for the exi…
Why religious human beings need evolutionary epistemology! A theological and evolutionary viewpoint of 'why humans need to embrace evolutionary epistemology
I put forward an understanding of evolutionary epistemology that rescues something of the old and venerable idea of freedom, and it means that we as theologians should grasp our very nature realistically, beyond any illusionism and utopian dreams. The author feels that scholars, especially theologians, should firstly take evolution seriously and secondly regard evolutionary epistemology as important as evolution itself, the reason being theologia…
