chelidonFor you hard-core philosophy junkies out there who are also into religious/spiritual exploration (you know who you are), I just ran across this paper: IMMANENT DUALISM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO DUALISM AND MONISM: THE WORLD VIEW OF MAX WEBER" which has some pretty fascinating stuff scattered in it. It's on the site of the American Scientific Affliliation (ASA), a Christian group which explores the intersection between science and Christianity, usually in a very thoughtful, reasonable way. For instance, this is their attempt to describe the Evangelical response to evolutionary theory, which I thought was a much more reasonable attempt to reconcile the two approaches than many I have seen lately.
Article abstract: Exploration of the roots of accumulating environmental degradation has reached to the very foundations of Western civilization. The dominant critiques of these foundations primarily focus on two cosmologies: monism and dualism. The purpose of this paper is to examine these foundations from a Weberian perspective and to offer a little known alternative: immanent dualism. This alternative cosmology suggests that religion could help reorganize late industrial capitalism.
