Interpret the meaning of the following quote by Theologian John
Milbank, and detail whether or not the quote implies
atheism/metaphysical materialism or whether it can be reconciled
with theism/metaphysical immaterialism.
"There is a homonymity here between science, which helps to make
capitalism profitable, and capitalism, which constantly invests in
science. Both the capitalist and the scientific process shun merely
closed systems; their shared interest in power means that they
cannot rest content with existing modes of control, but must
encourage a random inventiveness, which they can, according to the
rules of their own language-games, always recruit to their own
interest. This is because both science and capitalism make only one
meaning publicly count: the meaning of power. All kinds of
theories, products, interests- the origin of the universe, the
question of human kinship with animals, love of the beautiful,
humanitarian concern, faster transport--may provide power, in the
end, with a greater repertoire, resourcefulness and
flexibility."
