Philosophy, theology, and spirituality

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” — the White Queen, Through the Looking-Glass
What happens to spirituality when human consciousness stops being the measure of everything? The work gathered here circles that question — a book reading the discipline of Spirituality through speculative realism, articles on cities, liturgy, and technics, a philosophy of religion course at the University of Pretoria. The doctorate behind it came from the University of South Africa. The desk is in New York City.
