Freemasonry as the Nucleus of the Human League-Karl Christian Friedrich Krause's Interpretation of Regular Freemasonry as a Precursor of a Cosmopolitan Civil Society
In the spirit of global governance, Karl Christian Friedrich Krause saw the Masonic Brotherhood as the first historical seed for the realization of a global, participatory, Human League; to establish and maintain a state of true humanity. And he saw the most excellent sign of this connection between Freemasonry and cosmopolitan civil society in the allegory of the "Great General Lodge". However, in order to be able to do justice to its historical…
Non-Dual Śaivism and the Panentheism of Karl Christian Friedrich Krause
This paper explores striking philosophical parallels between Karl Christian Friedrich Krause's 19th-century articulation of panentheism and the much earlier non-dual Śaiva philosophy of the Pratyabhijñā school in Kashmir. While Krause is widely credited with coining the term panentheism, models of divine immanence and transcendence akin to panentheism are already present in the Pratyabhijñā tradition. Through comparative analysis, the study ident…
Panentheism as cosmopolitanism
Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781–1832) left for posterity an impressive and astonishingly contemporary corpus of philosophical creativity. Not only does it cover numerous topics of theoretical and practical philosophy, from a panentheistic-cosmopolitan point of view, but, in terms of the history of philosophy, it may be seen as one of the first works from a European pen which also appreciates the Indian roots of European thinking in their sy…
Karl Christian Friedrich Krause Einfluss auf Arthur Schopenhauers „Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung“
After a brief introduction to Krause’s life and work this article investigates the impression, based of the available sources, that Krause had an important influence on Schopenhauer’s philosophy. It then provides a concise systematic analysis of central elements of Krause’s and Schopenhauer’s thinking and thereby substantiates the claim that Krause did indeed have a significant influence on the development of the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer
Mystical Experience and the Paraconsistent God
henceforth, IPIR) is an excellent book. It contributes to cross-cultural philosophy of religion by showing not only that a profound philosophical dialogue between prima facie different philosophical traditions is possible and needed, but also by making a clear case that Western philosophy in fact can benefit enormously from Ra makr s n a's philosophy of religion. In what follows, I focus on Ra makr s n a's theory of the infinitude of God and brin…

Panentheism and Panpsychism
Panpsychism has become a highly attractive position in the philosophy of mind. On panpsychism, both the physical and the mental are inseparable and fundamental features of reality. Panentheism has also become immensely popular in the philo-sophy of religion. Panentheism strives for a higher reconciliation of an atheistic pantheism, on which the universe itself is causa sui, and the ontological dualism of necessarily existing, eternal creator and …
The Panentheism of Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832)
The book provides the first analysis of Karl Christian Friedrich Krause’s system of philosophy and his panentheism in English. Karl Christian Friedrich Krause has bequeathed to us a system of philosophy which is little recognised in contemporary philosophy. This is both surprising and unfortunate, because Krause’s philosophical system has much to offer: Through transcendental reflection on the nature of the human, Krause understands God as the on…
Moderate Transhumanism and Compassion
Transhumanism is a political agenda according to which we should deploy the means provided by the sciences to change human nature to meet our ends. Reactions to the transhumanist agenda range from naïve endorsement in one corner, to naïve rejection in the other. Some assume that it will inevitably lead to utopian heaven, others that it will lead directly to dystopian hell. These extreme reactions to the transhumanist agenda, however, are often du…
Concepts of God and Models of the God-world relation
There is a variety of concepts of the divine in the eastern and western theological and philosophical traditions. There is, however, not enough reflection on the logic behind concepts of God and their justification. I clarify some necessary and sufficient conditions any attempt to explicate a concept of God has to take into account. I argue that each concept of God is a cypher for a particular worldview and distinguishes three types of justificat…

Most of the articles collected in the volume were presented at a workshop in Princeton in 2004. Apart from the first section of Alvin Plantinga's contribution, the papers are published here for the first time. The largest part of the book deals with questions in the philosophy of mind, particularly with questions related to the ontology of human persons. Minor sections of articles focus on ethical aspects of human persons in reference to their em…
