- W3208611388 abstract "The current resurgence of religious fundamentalism is but one amongstmany manifestations of a widespread and pervasive spiritual illiteracy thathas bedevilled Western culture – and, indeed, penetrated beyond it – in thepost-Enlightenment era. The root causes of such illiteracy are manifold, andresist simplistic explanation.1 One such cause, however, is undoubtedly thediffusion of the epistemic fallacy from the Western academy into the habitus of the liberal lifeworld and from there into a variety of non-liberal beliefsystems. The failure to differentiate ontology from epistemology in themanner espoused by critical realists leads either to the modernist assertion ofradical epistemic certainty or the postmodernist affirmation of radical epistemic scepticism. In both cases epistemic access to reality is affirmed ordenied on prior epistemic grounds: rather than allowing mind to be transformed by the actual order-of-things, the affirmation of modern epistemiccapacity or postmodern epistemic incapacity authorizes the mind to constrain and control reality. The result is a thoroughgoing irrealism, in whichthe conflation of epistemology and ontology effectively dislocates knowledge from reality. The possibility of realism lies in the differentiation ofepistemology from ontology in a manner that creates space for judgementalrationality. The spiritual life, the on-going quest to relate appropriately toultimate reality, requires acknowledgement of the tension between the priorclaims of ontology and the actuality of epistemic relativism if it is to openup the possibility of cultivating that spiritual wisdom, or spiritual rationality,upon which spiritual literacy depends.Richard Bernstein invites us to read Descartes’ Meditations as a spiritualquest, ‘a journey of the soul’, in which ‘the terrifying nature of the journey is reflected in the allusions of madness, darkness, the dread of wakingfrom a self-deceptive dream world’.2 The resulting ‘Cartesian anxiety’ drovethe modern quest for epistemic certainty, ‘for some fixed point, some stable rock upon which we can secure our lives against the vicissitudes thatconstantly threaten us’.3 Bernard Williams points out that this desire forsecurity is mirrored in postmodernity, in the form of ‘a pervasive suspiciousness, a readiness against being fooled’ predicated on the belief thatmodernity ‘generated unprecedented systems of oppression, because of itsbelief in an externalized, objective, truth about individuals and society’.4" @default.
