- Опубліковано 14 тра 2009
- The first in a series of Gifford Lectures by Prof Diana Eck. Recorded April and May 2009 at The University of Edinburgh.
In 1893, the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago convened under the banner of universalism. How do pluralism and globalism today stand in contrast to the spirit of universalism, and signal a new reality? While the phenomenon of globalization clearly relates to economics and politics, to environmental and security concerns, how has it altered our religious consciousness, our religious life? What ethical questions are at the forefront of globalization? How have immigrants created new kinds of diasporas? How has the Internet destabilized borders of all kinds, including religious and national borders?
Great! Finally some Uni lectures on You Tube. It's great that they've started these You Tube Education uploads; long may it continue.
Pluralism is not that opposed to inclusivism. It is just that the base for inclusion is secular culture conceding the notion of homo religiosus and incorporating all the diverse practices with an appeal to common decencies.
@klaasgroen The approach we should be striving for is that iron age fairy tales are awarded the same respect in society as if you said Santa Claus wills it. We need less religion, not more. This is the 21st century.
Isn't that the point of the scientific method? That nothing is ever a certainty, just somewhere on a sliding scale of probability? As far as I know, the hundred years or so of investigation into this theory has produced a great deal of evidence that seems to support it.
And approaching something without certainty is the best way. Otherwise you end up with the ossified pathways of religious dogma, which produces no useful knowledge.

darwins theory of evolution was proven wrong a few years ago and "not knowing" is unacceptable to some people so thats why beliving in god will always have a place.
Atheist in my understanding means a man honest to himself, and broken away from slave mentality and became a free human being. I know,it is a hard thing to do. When our society is ruled by the very canning exploiters. Despite all of manipulations there are all the signs that mankind destroying the religion mambo and jumbo . .
Amen, everybody needs to understand that spirituality is different from religion
well the video proves that even dawrins theory is not perfect. it has holes just like every other theory. for one thing dawrin thought that cells were lumps of carbon and for another thing he thought that evolution was random but DNA contradicts that
lol well you cant say that there is no devinity either unless you are a aiethiest but then what came b4 the big bang and why are humans evolved in this way? religion has a place in our "advanced civilization" because as long as there is death, there are people who wounder about whats next.
