A recent Bonus Feature
In this November 2015 lecture, David L. Schindler (1943–2022) explores the implications for a civilization that discards the reality that being is grounded in God. American culture is profoundly shaped, he says, by a logic that leads to the abstraction of creature from its Creator and therefore to the loss of its creaturely telos. Schindler argues that a shift from a symbolical to a non-symbolical understanding of being fundamentally changes the nature of human experience in the world. It also implies an “absent God,” a position that is not metaphysically neutral. The way that a culture “images” God thus has profound consequences, which Schindler explores at length.
