An Embodied Faith: A Christian Critique of Digitality I Dreams, Archetypes and Artificial Intelligence

An Embodied Faith: A Christian Critique of Digitality, Prof. Noreen Herzfeld, PhD, St. John’s University, College of St. Benedict (USA) and ZRS Koper (Institute for Philosophical and Religious Studies)
Of all major religions, Christianity places the strongest focus on the incarnation of God in Jesus, his bodily resurrection and his real presence in the Eucharist. 
The digital revolution has revived the issues raised as early as in the Early Christianity about the goodness of the material world, the transcendence of God and the human capacity to transcend our material bodies.

Carl Gustav Jung believed that the archetypes are of significant importance in the interpretation of dreams. Today, utilizing the linguistic tools of artificial intelligence, Jung's thesis can be empirically proven. The paper focuses on the digital project “2020 Dreams: Toward a New Understanding of the Dreaming-Waking Continuum” published last year by Stanford University Press, and a Fulbright Project aimed at identifying and analysing archetypal states in dreams based on the Sleep and Dream Database.
