Abstract
Before I discuss keywords for studying religion power and the self, I want to say something generally about the changing humanities in a changing world. A revolution is taking place that is having enormous impact on the humanities. I am referring to the creation, acquisition, storage, retrieval and dissemination of data and information by means of digital technology. Whole new fields of study in the sciences, the social sciences and the humanities have come into existence because of digital technology. This technology is redefining humanity itself. My personal conviction is that digital technology is changing the human species. We are far from understanding the revolutionary changes that are taking place.
