Abstract:

Utilizes Michael Polanyi's model of God Presence to show not only that his treatment of God as a cosmic field is original, but also that in reinstating activity as a metaphysical category, he constructs our understanding of our creaturely hope and calling. Details on Polanyi's theoretical metaphysics; His alternative to the materialism of Dawkins and Dennett; Inadequacy of dominant evolutionary theory.
