SHORT EVALUATION OF THE NEUROTHEOLOGY AND OF THE PERSPECTIVES FOR THE TRADITIONAL THEOLOGY'S DIALOGUE WITH IT

Summary/Abstract: From the religious point of view an eastern orthodox research in neurotheology could help the different religions to deeply comprehend their possible common roots and mental, cultural and liturgical structures in the perspective of a better understanding and approach of each other. From the anthropologic point of view the research will help for a better understanding of man as both religious and social person. From medical and physiological point of view the research could help to overcome the limits of the brain research efforts, the multicultural religious lore offering to the domains of the cognitive sciences the lacking and the completive insights in the understanding of some of the brain and psychosomatic functions, as these are affirmed by the multi millennial treasure of thinking and spiritual experience of the religious traditions. From moral, ethical and sociological point of view the research will help to clarify the man ethical and social behavior in the more and more complex and confuse social environment of the (post)modernity.The potential risk consists in failing to realize some of our envisaged and desired demonstrations to the proposed objectives, as for example an orthodox and logic understanding in conformity with the new terms provided by neurotheology, of the transcendence and the immanence of the deity in the mystical communion of the soul with God. But in this case the scientific discourse will prove our serious and professional effort, and we will end up our discourse in some sort of hypothetical solutions.
