Rationality, the Affective and the Wound
Written by Marcus T. Anthony on none

This paper explores three underlying psycho-spiritual imperatives which have affected the process and practice of modern science.  These  imperatives have contributed to the depiction of consciousnesses and intelligence as mechanistic, brain-based, and consisting primarily of linguistic, mathematical an abstract operations. The consequent rejection of integrated, transcendent and spiritual depictions of consciousness and intelligence is thus also examined. Futurist Sohail Inayatullah’s Causal Layered Analysis is used to deconstruct the relevant texts and discourses.
