Religion, Neuroscience and the Self (Routledge Studies in Neurotheology, Cognitive Science and Religion)

This groundbreaking book, "Eschatological Personalism," offers a revolutionary approach to understanding the self and personhood through the lens of neuroscience and theology.

Drawing on the philosophical tradition of "Boston Personalism," McNamara proposes a new eschatological form of personalism that is consistent with current neuroscience models of relevant brain functions concerning the self and personhood, providing a comprehensive and innovative solution to the catastrophic challenges of the 21st century.

With a focus on topics such as the agent intellect, dreams and the imagination, future-orientation and eschatology, phenomenology of Time, social ethics, Love, the challenge of AI, privacy and solitude, and the individual ethic of autarchy, this book provides a unique and compelling perspective on personalism that will be of great interest to scholars of Cognitive Science, Theology, Religious Studies, and the philosophy of mind.
