I. have been asked more than once—perhaps a little more than a thousand times, to be more precise—about the publication date of my forthcoming book on mind and life (and language). It will, in fact, appear this coming August from Yale University Press under the title All Things Are Full of Gods. It is available for order now (if you happen to of an especially eager temper) at Amazon and Barnes and Noble and wherever else fine enormous volumes on abstruse topics are sold.
I mentioned in an earlier announcement the forthcoming publication of my latest volume of stories—Prisms, Veils—from the University of Notre Dame Press. I also mentioned at that time that Amazon.com was remaining oddly stubborn about correcting the price for the hardcover edition. Happily, that error has at last been corrected and the Amazon listing is now the right one. The book will appear in print in July.
At the end of the month I shall be flying to the UK to deliver this year’s Stanton Lectures at Cambridge: five lectures over roughly a dozen days on Christology (which, as we know, is the most eirenic topic there is in theology). The lectures will be streaming live (5 PM in Britain, noon EST in the States), and I will try to provide links to the live-stream and to the recordings here. Wish me well, if you would, since in fact no one ever writes a book (or series of lectures) on Christology that meets with general or even wide approval. We all think we know what we all more or less believe and think about the issue, until someone is so indiscreet as to attempt to say it out loud. Then everyone is shocked at the perversity of that poor fool’s proposals. In this instance, I shall be playing the role of the fool; and since “in for a penny, in for a pound” is my philosophy (or, alternatively, '“as well to be hanged for a sheep as a lamb”), I am hoping to be especially scandalous in the formulations I advance. The title of the lectures is “The Light of Tabor: Notes Toward a Monistic Christology.”
Amazing! I have been waiting for this book since you first announced its inception a few years back. I will pre order a copy for me, my wife, and several friends in the biological sciences! I have not been this excited to see a new book in a very long time. I always felt like Being, Consciousness, Bliss needed a 600 pg appendix.
I buyed your book on consciouness last monthly by Amazon. I really think that metaphysical idealism is right. I see some videos of my compatriot, Bernardo Kastrup, wich he presents that in a very cogent way; but it seems that he endorse one dogma of naturalism: mecanicism. I really don't know how he grasp that fisicalism is nonsense but, at same time, continue with this magical thinking - how could intentionality envolve if it is supervenient to a mechanical base?
I hope that this book bring a good metaphysicial ground on this perspective. I say that because you said that is of neoplatonic faction.
From the lands of Vera Cruz, God bless you Dr. Hart.
