Zusammenfassung: | This essay explores the significance of symbiosis and mutualism for a theology of God’s action in the world as being through wisdom in the light of evolutionary theories of origin. I argue that theories of evolution that take into account composite entities provide important clues to the evolution of complexity. Symbiosis contributes to a richer understanding of humanity as both embedded and embodied with other life forms. A Thomistic understanding of memory in engagement with the deep history of our symbiotic past enlarges a theological anthropology and gives pointers towards a theological ethics. |
