6 Today: The Need for Epistemological Therapy
7 Epistemology shapes our lives. the patterns of epistemology can help us decipher the patterns of our lives. Its images of the knower, the known, and their relationship are formative in the way an educated person not only thinks but acts. The shape of our knowledge becomes the shape of our living; the relation of the knower to the known becomes the relation of the living self to the larger world. Parker Palmer

13 Modernity: the ambition of power over nature Human knowledge becomes mature and manly, able to beget children, only when it is directed to its true end, namely, power over nature in order to minister to the needs of life. --Francis Bacon ( )
14 Modernity: the ambition of power over nature Instead of speculative philosophy we can find a practical one, by which, knowing [natural things] we can employ these entities for all the purposes for which they are suited, and so make ourselves masters and possessors of nature. The entire class of causes which derive from a thing s end, I judge to be utterly useless in Physics. --Rene Descartes ( )
15 Modernist Epistemology A substantive decision is required of us, for modernity has eroded even our readiness to hold to the miraculous scandal [of the Resurrection]. But the matters of life and faith cannot be expressed in the tongues of modernity, for its technical epistemology, incapable of doxology, has consigned us to death and despair. Walter Brueggemann
16 Toxic modernism Pragmatism Utilitarianism Commercialism The transactional Commodification Scarcity Reductivism Fragmentation The soil in which I was planted was not soil I could thrive in.
