Prof. Dr. Thomas Fuchs argues from a psychiatrist's perspective against the new gnosticism of the transhumanist movement, which assumes a fundamental mind-body dualism, insisting rather that processes of life and consciousness are inseparably linked through the living body as a whole. In the unity of the person, both aspects are intertwined: the body is alive and therefore also mindful; the mind is alive and therefore also truly embodied.
The Winter 2021 event series is sponsored by the Issachar Fund in collaboration with Regent College.

"Human Flourishing in a Technological World: A Christian Vision" is a three year research project seeking to answer the question, "What does it mean to be human in a technological world?"
Starting in 2018, an established group of scholars from the fields of biology, general humanities, philosophy, psychiatry, and theology have sought to provide a comprehensive theological assessment of recent technologies' impact on human nature and human life.
Dr. Jens Zimmermann, Dr. Michael Burdett, Dr. John Behr and several other leading scholars contribute; see the full list here: www.christianflourishing.com/...
