Abstract
Classical modern science posited the quantifiable world as the only one andconsequently renounced the insights contained in the symbolic discourses of the revealed scriptures. The very idea that the self observing the so-called objective world can be excluded is inherently contradictory. Is observation of the external world in which the self of the observer plays no role even thinkable? A growing realisation of this across almost the full range of theoretical approaches to reality has led to introduction of the anthropocosmological principle. By contrast, contemporary philosphical and theological discourses often still deploy the modern constructs and modular language of scientism and consequently lacks insight into the potential of a postmodern deconstruction and reconstruction of our religious intellectual heritage. The talk will consider certain aspects of this question.
