For anyone interested in the philosophy of mind, I warmly recommend the "Landscape of Consciousness" (https://lnkd.in/enakMrUa), a global, interactive hub that maps the major theories of consciousness, authenticated by leading theorists and open to all. It brings together neuroscience, philosophy, and questions that reach into meaning, personal identity, AI, and life after death. These questions are exactly where theology has something to contribute. In the current issue of the BSB-Journal (1-2026), I examine one of them directly: "Resurrection or Upload to the Cloud? A Theological-Anthropological Examination of Mind Uploading" (p. 180). The article asks whether the hope of "uploading" the mind can bear the weight placed on it, and how a Christian anthropology, grounded in embodiment and resurrection rather than information transfer, reframes the question of what a human being is. #PhilosophyOfMind #Consciousness #Theology #AI #MindUploading #ChristianAnthropology
