1993 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago – Reflections on the Relation between Religion and Modern Rationalism

One hundred years prior, Vivekananda popularly introduced Hinduism to America at the 1893 “Parliament of the World's Religions” held in Chicago. During this time, the so-called conflict thesis of religion and science dominated discourse. Thompson steers around that dilemma while engaging constructs drawn from the bhakti traditions identified with Gaudiya Vaisnavism. He further discusses a variety of research initiatives in quantum mechanics, genetics, and artificial intelligence, which appear amenable to a complementary relationship. Thompson also proposes practical methods drawn from the bhakti traditions for developing Vivekananda’s cherished goal, love of God.
