Incarnation by Martin J Schade
Western dualism is an illusion. Reality is a dialectical unity of incarnate love through the condition of the possibilities of divine and human, spirit and matter, Self and Other. The historical development to this metaphysical view is investigated in depth. Incarnation is a “legitimate pantheism.” Similarities to the Aum, the Tao, Rastafari and the “New Physics” are also provided. Incarnation offers an understanding of the Self with ethical and cultural applications which are presented in the material-supernatural existential of music and dance found in the Riddim of Creation.
Schade’s Incarnation is a philosophical journeyWelcome aboard! -- Catherine "Gracie" Barret Baston, First “Hearer of the Word," Campion College, Kingston, Jamaica
In this wide-ranging and fascinating essay in philosophical theology, Dr. Martin Schade proposes a new metaphysical/theological view that he names ‘Dialectical Incarnation.’ More than a metaphysical theory, dialectical incarnation is also a philosophical anthropology, a meta-ethics, and a normative ethics of love. The great strength of Schade’s view is its panoptic scope and the measure of Schade’s philosophical talent. -- Robert "Rex" Welshon, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
This is a book that will challenge many scholars and established orthodoxies within the various related disciplines of theology, religious studies, transcendental metaphysics and philosophical anthropology in its unique way of showing how it is possible to see the unity of all facets of reality. This rather engaging peculiarity uses the traditions of theological scholars enmeshed within the ambits of philosophy to argue the novel thesis that the totality of reality is suffused with an incarnate beingness. It is imaginable that over time, the views expressed therein may find favour with scientists, as the borders of dichotomies of reality are further eroded. -- John Ayotunde (Tunde) Isola Bewaji, University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston, Jamaica
The book is well organized and the thesis carefully and subtly argued. The ease with which Schade expresses the ideas is a reflection of his good grounding in both philosophical scholarship and intellectual tradition. In the book, Schade transcends the narrow conception of incarnation found in much of Western scholarship and argues for a broad conception that is all-inclusive. Schade’s book is rewarding and refreshingly novel. -- Frederick Ochieng’-Odhiambo, The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados
Dr. Schade has taken the less-travelled road of using post-Hegelian thought to illuminate the traditional doctrine of God incarnate. Readers will find him a deeply thoughtful--at times even thrillingly adventurous--guide. -- Ronald K. Tacelli, S.J., Boston College
Incarnation reveals a new dialectical relationship between human beings and God, God needs humans to be God; humans need God to be human. -- Lawrence Bamikole, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica
