Episode 63, ‘Pantheism and Panentheism’ with Andrei Buckareff (Part I)

In this episode, Andrei speaks about alternative concepts of God; more specifically, on his recent work surrounding pantheism and panentheism. In a word, Andrei argues that if humans are to understand God as “acting in space-time,” they should be inclined to believe that this God exists within time and space, at all spatial locations. Moreover, if they are inclined to think that God is omniscient, then they should also believe that God “is the universe”—that is, God and the universe are essentially made of the same stuff, with God being either identical with or constituted by the cosmos.
