    Thanks for that. In Europe, off the back of Derrida, there
    is more and more talk about a theological/religious turn
    in post-modernism. I have noted Patrick's talk about our
    global, political, moral and technological problems. Increasingly
    Heidegger's hint that only the last god can save us, seems to be
    the only prospect worth investigating. I also feel that such a god
    will have to be one that does without institutions and priesthoods.

    regards
    David M

    Neo-Pragmatism, and Religion : Conversations with Richard Rorty (ed. by
    Charley D. Hardwick & Donald A. Crosby) that pulls out some of the
    consequences of Rorty's philosophy with concern to religion. Very good
    stuff. In particular, there's a great piece by David L. Hall (who also
    wrote my favorite exposition of Rorty) on pragmatism and mysticism.
