| Abstract: |
The concept of the sacred world beyond the stars found expression in
the works of Plato, into Gnosticism and was incorporated into
Christianity where medieval images of the cosmos pictured the heavenly
domain as beyond the stars. Today cyberspace literature abounds with
descriptions of a transmundane space, a great Beyond. This talk looks
at current views of cyberspace and asks if they are a re-packaging of
the age-old concept of a sacred sky in a secular and technological
format? |
