The Transhuman Condition

The Transhuman Condition
Under the influence of psychology it may well be that, just as all the
branches of science itself are coalescing into a unified world
picture, so the human activities of art and attitudes of religion may
be fused into one whole action-reaction pattern of man to reality. The
recognition of the art that informs all pure science need not mean the
abandonment for it of all present art, rather it will mean the
completion of the transformation of art that has already begun. Art
expressing itself on one side in a kind of generalized architecture,
massive or molecular, gives form to the infinite possibilities of the
application of science; on the other a generalized poetry expresses
the ever-widening complexities of the understanding of the universe,
while religion clarified by psychology remains at the expression of
the desire that drives man through the universe in understanding and
hope.
