Postmodern barbarism

One Cosmos Under God Robert W. Godwin Vertical Globalization and the Further Adventures of Consciousness
Suffice it to say that the relentless horizontal daydream of globalization must be supplemented by the night logic of wideawake vertical dreamers in order to create a future fit for man. Religion must play a part in this future, but not the primitive religiosity of the Islamists or the postmodern barbarism of the Sam Harrises and Daniel Dennetts of the world, whose hollow ideology is merely a parasitic shadow of the vertical. You might say that globalization must be accompanied by celestialization.
UPDATE Speaking of pathological reactions to modernity, a wonderful article on the religion of radical environmentalism, A Necessary Apocalypse. posted by Gagdad Bob at 2/02/2007 07:29:00 AM 34 comments links to this post Friday, February 02, 2007
