Description
Résumé:This paper integrates the notion of the Powers developed by Walter Wink with a quantum social theory posited by Alexander Wendt. While Wink argues the Powers are manifestations of social structures with an interior spirituality, resembling creatures, his picture lacks explanatory depth and is addressed by Wendt’s quantum social theory which argues agents and social structures co-emerge into a holographic (super)organism. At the same time, Wendt’s model, lacking an objective basis for evaluating the purposes of social structures, is addressed by Wink’s theology in that the purposes of social structures are understood as responses to God’s calling.
