“Speculative Philosophy is the endeavour to frame a coherent, logical, necessary system of general ideas in terms of which every element of our experience can be interpreted. By this notion of 'interpretation' I mean that everything of which we are conscious, as enjoyed, perceived, willed, or thought, shall have the character of a particular instance of the general scheme.” MeanIdeasPhilosophyCharacterTermParticularElementsConsciousNotionInstanceEnjoyedLogicalInterpretationSchemesEndeavour Author:Charles Hartshorne
“God thus excludes the world; he is only its cause; in no sense is he effect, of himself or anything else. Pantheism (better, "pandeism," for again it is not really the theos that is described) means that God is the integral totality of ordinary cause-effects, and that there, is no super-cause independent of ordinary causes and effects.” WorldMeanCausesEffectsOrdinaryIndependentCause And EffectTotalityPantheism Author:Charles Hartshorne
