  Professor Corrington has developed his philosophic perspective of ecstatic naturalism (link to a brief statement of the categorial scheme of ecstatic naturalism) out of an ongoing dialogue between Continental phenomenology on the one side and classical Euro-American pragmatism on the other.  The metaphysical perspective of ecstatic naturalism is anti-supernaturalist while remaining open to the religious dimensions of nature as these dimensions are manifest in sacred folds (semiotic orders with special numinous and archetypal power).  Animating the dialectic between phenomenology and pragmatism (or pragmaticism) is his work with depth psychology, especially that of Reich and Jung.  Professor Corrington not only writes on these issues but has lectured on Jung at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland as well as at Drew University.  His book on Wilhelm Reich is forthcoming.
  His metaphysics of ecstatic naturalism is concerned with exhibiting the utter vastness of nature as that nature manifests its own unconscious potencies and the religious orders of meaning that intersect with the human unconscious.  His seventh book, A Semiotic Theory of Theology and Philosophy, (Cambridge University Press, 2000) extends his categorial scheme into the foundational structures of the world and presents a semiotic cosmology.
 Currently he is working on a larger project for Cambridge University Press as well as other book projects that will further ramify and extend ecstatic naturalism. This involves a continuing exploration of Hinduism, Buddhism, and theosophy as they all intersect with the liberal strains in Western metaphysics and theology.
  Professor Corrington is an active member of the Unitarian Universalist Association and The Theosophical Society of America. He lectures and gives classes for both organizations and travels to India for the Congress of the International Theosophical Society in Chennai (Madras).
