Философ доказал совместимость космопсихизма с ортодоксальным христианским богословием

Overview - Argues for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox Christian understanding of God - Develops an account of cosmopsychism and theism in which God and the cosmic mind are distinct - Contends that the cosmic mind is not divine Part of the book series: Palgrave Frontiers in Philosophy of Religion (PFPR) Access this book Tax calculation will be finalised at checkout Other ways to access About this book This book argues for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox Christian understanding of God. It adopts a broadly classical understanding of God in which God and the world are distinct and the key attributes of God are retained. It thus contributes to discussions of cosmopsychism in philosophy of religion. In arguing for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox account of Christian theism, the book serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it develops an account of cosmopsychism and theism in which God and the cosmic mind are distinct, and the cosmic mind is not divine. Secondly, in showing that cosmopsychism is compatible with a classical understanding of God, it demonstrates that cosmopsychism need not be construed as a rival to classical theism. In pursuit of these aims this book brings cosmopsychism into dialogue with several key elements of the Christian doctrine of God including the understanding of four of the divine attributes: omnibenevolence, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. The analysis seeks to dispel concerns that the cosmic mind would be a rival to God and seeks to show the unique theological merits that a cosmopsychist understanding of classical theism can yield. Cosmopsychism and the Christian Doctrine of God is essential reading for scholars in philosophy of religion, especially those focussing on the understanding of God. It is also ideal for Christian analytic theologians and for researchers in the philosophy of mind. Table of contents (9 chapters) - Front Matter - Back Matter Reviews “What if consciousness is not limited to human beings, but is a more fundamental feature of reality, like spin and force? If the cosmos is conscious should we then say the cosmos is divine? Cosmopsychism and the Christian Doctrine of God is extremely clear and concise guide to these questions. Cawdron provides an original angle on traditional debates that will be of benefit to any student or researcher interested in the Christian doctrine of God.” (Joanna Leidenhag, Associate Professor of Theology and Philosophy, University of Leeds, United Kingdom) “Cosmopsychism has been explored most extensively within non-Western religious traditions. In this bold and innovative book, however, Harvey Cawdron investigates its compatibility with Christian theism. With impressive clarity and philosophical rigor, he offers a rich discussion of creation, divine attributes, Christology, and much more. This is essential reading for anyone interested in a highly original and intellectually exciting account of the Christian conception of God and its implications.” (Yujin Nagasawa, Professor of Philosophy and Kingfisher College Chair of the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, University of Oklahoma) Authors and Affiliations About the author Harvey Cawdron is an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Divinity at the University of St Andrews.
