“EXCELLENCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE” P A G E 104 A New Philosophical Perspective on all of Reality Western dualism is an illusion. Reality is a dialectical unity of incarnate love. Incarnation is a “legitimate pantheism” with similarities to the Aum, the Tao, Rastafari and the “New Physics.” It offers an understanding of the Self with ethical and cultural applications. Dr. Martin J. Schade’s recent book, Incarnation: The Harmony of One Love in the Totality of Reality is clearly an innovation that could have an impact in the world because it offers a new philosophical perspective on all of reality. Reviews indicate its innovation and possible impact. “In this wide-ranging and fascinating essay in philosophical theology, Dr. Martin Schade proposes a new metaphysical/theological view that he names ‘Dialectical Incarnation.’ More than a metaphysical theory, dialectical incarnation is also a philosophical anthropology, a meta-ethics, and a normative ethics of love. The great strength of Schade’s view is its panoptic scope and the measure of Schade’s philosophical talent.” - Professor Robert “Rex” Welshon, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs “This is a book that will challenge many scholars and established orthodoxies within the various related disciplines in its unique way of showing how it is possible to see the unity of all facets of reality. This rather engaging peculiarity uses the traditions of theological scholars enmeshed within the ambits of philosophy to argue the novel thesis that the totality of reality is suffused with an incarnate beingness.” - Professor John Ayotunde (Tunde) Isola Bewaji, University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston, Jamaica “The book is well organized and the thesis carefully and subtly argued. The ease with which Schade expresses the ideas is a reflection of his good grounding in both philosophical scholarship and intellectual tradition. Schade transcends the narrow conception of incarnation and argues for a broad conception that is all-inclusive. Schade’s book is rewarding and refreshingly novel.”- Professor Frederick Ochieng’-Odhiambo, The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados “Dr. Schade has taken the less-travelled road of using post-Hegelian thought to illuminate the traditional doctrine of God incarnate. Readers will find him a deeply thoughtful--at times even thrillingly adventurous—guide.”- Ronald K. Tacelli, SJ, Boston College “Incarnation reveals a new dialectical relationship between human beings and God, God needs humans to be God; humans need God to be human.” - Dr. Lawrence Bamikole, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica.
