Parting the Waters? Dissociative Identity Disorder and Baptism
AbstarctIn Christian disability theology, effort has been made to better accommodate disabled persons in Christian communities and discussions of doctrine. This endeavor has encompassed discussions of both physical and psychiatric disabilities. In this paper, I will contribute to this area of research by investigating the implications of Dissociative Identity Disorder—a disorder in which a number of different personalities arise in the same body—…
Can You Remember What It Was Like To Be a Bat? The Knowledge Argument, Memory, and Reincarnation
In most traditions within classical Indian philosophy, the soteriological goal of liberation from material existence has caused difficulties with introducing their systems of thought into contemporary discussions of physicalism. Despite this, scholars are finding ways for these traditions to contribute to discussions of physicalism. I shall continue this endeavour in this paper with the doctrine of reincarnation. I shall outline the implications …
The regeneration of the cosmic mind
In several works, Joanna Leidenhag has discussed the theological merits of panpsychism, the idea that consciousness is ubiquitous in the universe. I shall pursue a related project here in which I consider how a variant of panpsychism called cosmopsychism, in which the universe itself is seen to be conscious, can answer key questions regarding the cosmic scope of sin and redemption in the new creation view of eschatology. After outlining the new c…
Analytic Theology, Model Pluralism, and Progress
In recent discussions of methodology in analytic theology, attention has been paid to the use of model‐building—providing simplified accounts of doctrines, or clusters of doctrines, that merely approximate to the truth of the matter—as a practice that enables analytic theologians to carry out their work whilst respecting the mystery, ineffability, and unintelligibility of God. However, this raises a question concerning the nature of progress in t…
Unity among Division
Dissociative Identity Disorder is a mental disorder in which seemingly independent identities arise within the same body. It is a disorder that raises profound questions about our understandings of certain theological concepts and doctrines, especially if one can consider the different identities to be different persons. In this paper, I shall provide support for this claim by exploring the implications that Dissociative Identity Disorder can hav…
The Fall of the Cosmic Mind
[Figure: see text] Christian philosophers often use moral agents to explain the existence of evil. The fall of human beings can be used in explanations of moral evil, and some have posited the existence of angels to explain natural evil. The latter proposal, which has been labelled “the Satan hypothesis,” has faced substantial criticism. Here, I do not dismiss the Satan hypothesis, but present cosmopsychism, the idea that the universe is consciou…
Cosmopsychism and the Problem of Evil
Cosmopsychism, the idea that the universe is conscious, is experiencing something of a revival as an explanation of consciousness in philosophy of mind and is also making inroads into philosophy of religion. In the latter field, it has been used to formulate models of certain forms of theism, such as pantheism and panentheism, and has also been proposed as a rival to the classical theism of the Abrahamic faiths. It has been claimed by Philip Goff…
Communal sin, atonement, and group non-agential moral responsibility
In analytic theology, corporate and/or communal accounts of moral responsibility are gaining recognition as a useful resource in numerous debates. One of the areas to which they have been applied is the atonement. It is thought that when Christ is atoning for the human community, one evades concerns about justice because it seems permissible for a member of a group to suffer punishment for the group's actions even if they are not morally responsi…
