Document Details : Title: Absolute Emptiness or Divine Fullness? Subtitle: Christianity in Dialogue with Religion and Science Author(s): BRACKEN, Joseph Journal: Studies in Interreligious Dialogue Volume: 33 Issue: 2 Date: 2023 Pages: 233-244 DOI: 10.2143/SID.33.2.3292477 Abstract : Instead of focusing on individual entities in unilateral cause-effect relations as a starting-point for a new world view, the author suggests that interrelated groups of entities, organized into societies or systems according to a basic pattern or mode of operation, are the final real things of which the world is made up. Hence, the ultimate components of societies or systems are not mini-things (atoms) but mini-organisms, governed by whole-part relations in which the parts condition the ongoing reality of the whole and the whole, in turn, constrains the interplay between the individual parts or members. |
