I write these words on behalf of my colleagues, scholars in the future of religion and society. We are living in an era where many people are concerned about the corrosive effect on public life of the use of language to conceal and mislead.
Language has a future, a great one.
No surprises there. The opportunity is the shared development of a new theory of political and social language the way we communicate with each other about how to live together. And more important than a new theory a new community of pioneers in excellence in social language. It's breakthrough time in social language theory. It is the divine Ground, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Creativity, the Spirit of Communication.
