Abstract
VAN HUYSSTEEN, J. Wentzel. Lecture three: From empathy to embodied faith: Interdisciplinary perspectives on the evolution of religion. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.3, pp.1-11. ISSN 2072-8050. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v73i3.4488.
In a series of three articles, presented at the Goshen Annual Conference on Science and Religion in 2015, with the theme 'Interdisciplinary Theology and the Archeology of Personhood', J. Wentzel van Huyssteen considers the problem of human evolution - also referred to as 'the archaeology of personhood' - and its broader impact on theological anthropology. This trajectory of lectures tracks a select number of challenging contemporary proposals for the evolution of crucially important aspects of human personhood. These are aspects that were all of great significance for Darwin: the evolution of cognition, the evolution of imagination, music and language, the evolution of morality, and the evolution of the religious disposition.
