Recenzii
I expect Butler's work will inspire many important conversations . This work should be read widely. In addition to all practitioners and scholars of transhumanism, Black theology, and philosophy of religion, it will be of interest to many, including those in the fields of cognitive science of religion, critical theory and critical race theory, posthumanism, contemplative studies, new materialisms, and spirituality studies.
[Black Transhuman Liberation Theology] is full of seminal insights on a variety of subjects, including-in addition to African spirituality and black liberation theology-the impact of specific technologies ranging from cell phones to neurophysiology on human and societal development and values. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
[This book] promotes a fresh approach towards the discourse of Black liberation theology. . . . It directs Black liberation theology through a different path, advancing Black transhuman liberation theology as a concept that pays less attention to the past, emphasizing instead, empowerment and liberation possibilities in the future by combining technology and spirituality.
Black Transhuman Liberation Theology is a compelling, insightful and visionary book. With a deep commitment to interdisciplinary work, Butler offers a truly innovative theology for the 21st century. This is a must read for anyone interested in liberation theologies, critical race theories, Africana studies, spiritualism and philosophy of religion.
Dr. Butler's revolutionary essay offers the first transhuman-liberationist response to "the use of the Black body to carve out the basics of American science." Reconceiving technology as a spiritual exercise, he spells out a new vision for Black biotech employed in service of Black life. In an age of ubiquitous technology, the resulting "spirituality of revolt" is indeed the next chapter for Black liberationist theology.
By weaving together spirituality and technology, Butler offers an interdisciplinary and innovative techno-theological exploration that takes seriously the material promises and pitfalls of black bodies in an increasingly technocratic age. Black Transhuman Liberation Theology takes black theology seriously while also pushing it in new and different directions.
A bold attempt at developing a black transhumanist liberation theology. The work contains much creativity, offering an inter-disciplinary approach to the challenges presented by crises we face as a culture today.
