The Praxis by Dirk Bruere. My review of this brilliant gem.

in #theology6 years ago

The Praxis (subtitle: A Transcendent Theology of the Spiritual and Temporal) is a brilliant gem. In just 112 pages Dirk Bruere does not only inform you about everything you need to know about the technological singularity and transhumanism Kurzweil failed to tell you. It's much more than that: The praxis is scripture. Bruere eloquently provides us with definitions about spirits, soul, death, resurrection and transmigration, all fitting within the framework of present-day understanding of technology and science from artificial intelligence to quantum mechanics. The Praxis transcended my expectations by presenting transhumanism from a particular humanitarian perspective. A hope giving sound on morality and ethics without the usual tyrannical top-down ordaining known from traditional religions. This is a religion or life-philosophy for the future that starts today. An all-inclusive approach which doesn't exclude any opinion. A deep analysis of the need to integrate mind and society, showing that temptation and how are states of the divided mind. The praxis is a call to immanentize the Eschaton; not in the sense of causing the end-of-days in a nuclear fall-out scenario, but in the sense of a profound beginning to manifest the Divine in the world in tune with nature. This will guide you through Maya, the simulation hypothesis, the bardo thodol and Theodicy with a profound sense of ritual and sacrament. The praxis is no ascetic withdrawal from the world but a pragmatic imperative to compassionate action in order to alleviate the suffering from existence. A must read for all Eschatonians.
