Frederick Ferré 
Hellfire and Lightning Rods [PDF ebook] 
Liberating Science, Technology, and Religion

Support

Renowned philosopher Frederick Ferre invites us to contemplate a new world to be constructed out of the debris of modernity. Hellfire and Lightning Rods displays a vision in which the dichotomies between religion, philosophy, science, and technology can be seen as too-narrow construals of a single, but polyvalent, organic world.
Ferre wisely notes that the conceptual worlds of premodern animism, modern ‘scientism, ‘ and biblical orthodoxy have major internal flaws and create immense practical problems. Yet, while they are largely unconvincing to persons who see the need for ‘postmodern’ approaches, a successor to these views is nowhere near universally accepted. In that context, Ferre suggests that an important interim worldview that he calls ‘multi-mythic organicism’ will help humanity recover spiritual dimensions now lacking.
