The article presents an argument for God's existence grounded in the idea that the mere possibility of God necessitates God's actual existence as a foundation. After outlining this argument, the author compares it to other arguments for God, particularly one from Descartes's Third Meditation. Various objections are addressed, and the article concludes by offering a non-theistic version of the argument, showing its broader philosophical relevance.
A cosmopsychist-panentheistic metaphysics inspired by the 11th-century Indian philosopher Rāmānuja offers a solution to the hard problem of consciousness that is preferable to other comparable views, and can ground a panentheistic conception of God compatible with human free will. The authors argue that Rāmānuja's Viśiṣṭādvaita (qualified non-dualism) Vedānta provides a more satisfactory account than the Advaita Vedānta of Śaṅkara, which has been the focus of most cross-cultural studies linking panpsychism and Indian philosophy.
The article explores how cosmopsychism—the view that the universe itself is conscious—can address questions about the cosmic scope of sin and redemption within the new creation view of eschatology. After outlining the new creation view and key debates about cosmopsychism in philosophy of mind, the author proposes a cosmopsychist account that offers answers to these theological queries.
