Higher Pantheism in a Nutshell
'Higher Pantheism in a Nutshell' Summary
In "Higher Pantheism in a Nutshell," Algernon Charles Swinburne presents a philosophical argument for pantheism, the belief that God is identical with the universe. He begins by critiquing the traditional conception of God as a separate and transcendent being, arguing that this view is both irrational and unsatisfying. In contrast, he argues that pantheism offers a more coherent and compelling account of reality, one that is consistent with both science and human experience. Swinburne develops his argument through a series of metaphors and analogies, drawing on both classical mythology and modern science to illustrate his points. He concludes by asserting that pantheism is the only truly rational and satisfying worldview, one that can provide us with a sense of meaning and purpose in an otherwise meaningless universe.Book Details
