Lecture abstract

Rather than conceive the spirit in an intellectual fashion—as consciousness, intelligence, rationality, and such bipolar notions as body-soul or body-spirit—we should understand both the human and the divine spirit in a multipolar and multimodal fashion. Only then do the full reality and creativity of the spirit become apparent, illuminating the challenges to which human beings are called today.
