| Summary: | Hegel's dialectical method and the system of totality -- Creativity and God in process -- Divine paradox and harmony in Whitehead and Jung -- Bateson's theory of double-binding and meta-context -- Non-directed order and harmony -- Wonhyo's Buddhist thought of one mind in the organic model -- The theological significance of paradox in the organic model These essays examine the significance of balance between the opposites in order to understand God and the world. The paradoxical relationship between the opposites are dialectical and creative in the organic model, in which God is both transcendent and immanent. The author explores how the complex of divine reality entails the dialogue of differences in a constructive way, using inter-religious dialogue and religion-nature dialogue as examples |
