While his account is often sloppy, he is nevertheless right that the transhumanist agenda is a logical consequence of Gnosticism (which he and many others mistake for Christianity), and that this Gnosticism, which has theological roots in the Scotist - nominalist revolution in metaphysics, ever more exclusively shapes
the modern cultural imagination and our understanding of what it is to be human.
My own lecture was titled «The Right to Belong Where I Come From,» and dealt with the importance of home in the human
imagination, the struggle against placelessness in
modern culture, and the
cultural forces that come to bear on the human consciousness to weaken attachments between person and home place.
