Sunday, September 01, 2002Freeman Dyson... no man's Hermeneuticist:
"Most religion in the world doesn't have theology. Theology is something very peculiar to Christianity. It didn't even come from Jesus. It was an accident. The Greek world was heavily philosophical at the time Christianity was developing, and so the Christians adopted all this jargon from Greek philosophy and incorporated it into their religion; that became theology. I've never found it essential to my religion or to other religions. Judaism has practically no theology, and Islam has very little - Buddhism, even less. It's given rise to this profession of theologians who would like to make the subject into a science..."
"...balancing the permanent against the ephemeral, it's very important that we adapt to the world on the long-time scale as well as the short-time scale. Ethics are the art of doing that. You must have principles that you're willing to die for."
