Please join us for a presentation and discussion by developmental philosopher Steve McIntosh. At a surface level, post-postmodern (integral) culture broadly includes numerous spiritual paths. Yet, at the same time, this emerging subculture is attempting to transcend postmodern cultural relativism. So, what are post-postmodernism’s social norms regarding spiritual pluralism? Should we carry forward New Age relativism? Are spiritual teachings open to debate? Do we need a broadly empirical “science of spirit” to evaluate different spiritual truth claims? In both our February and March Zoom meetings, we will explore these questions and consider post-postmodern culture’s relationship with religion and spirituality in

He is also the most prominent proponent of “post-liberalism,” a movement typically coded as “right on culture, left on economics”, a combination that scrambles typical categories and, as developmentalists, ought to rivet our attention. In this presentation, David outlines the diverse and fascinating philosophical influences on Vance—including libertarian Peter Thiel (his former employer), neo-reactionary Curtis Yarvin, post-liberal Catholic Patrick Deneen, Rod Dreher (of “Benedict Option” fame), and national conservative James Orr (his “British Sherpa”). David analyzes how Vance channels Warrior, Traditional, and Modern worldviews, and explores

Click here for details on how to sign up. Starting January 15, 2025 “Process philosophy” is wider than the work of Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947), but the depth and dynamism of his “philosophy of organism” have made him the defining figure of the modern process tradition.

Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin proposed a cosmic vision of evolution governed by the principle of Omega. Confusion around his use of this symbol has led to speculative ideas, including a terminal point of evolution. In this talk, Ilia will explore Teilhard’s notion of Omega as a governing principle of increasing complexity and consciousness, accompanied by increasing spirit and the energy of love. The Omega principle provides a framework to discuss a possible direction of evolution. Ilia Delio, OSF holds the Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology at Villanova University. Her area of research is Systematic-Constructive theology. She holds a doctorate in
