Toward an Ecumenical Metaphysics? A Response to Reviewers of Christ the Logos of Creation

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract After a series of promising ecumenical meetings in 1929 and 1931 with the Jesuit Erich Przywara, who advocated an analogical understanding of the relationship between God and world – doing so in part to ward off the danger posed by modern forms of pantheism – Karl Barth abruptly threw down the gauntlet and presented a serious obstacle to ...

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract What if ideology were not just hidden—but aesthetic? This article reads China Miéville's The City & The City not as a metaphor for division, but as a speculative blueprint for how politics operates through enforced invisibility. By threading Derrida's Absolute Other and Rancière's le politique through Miéville's uncanny urban layering, we ...

PSR, Modal Collapse, and Open Future in Ibn Sīnā's Philosophy

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It has been contended that the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) implies necessitarianism—that is, the view that everything occurs out of necessity. Discussing a well‐known argument for this claim developed by contemporary metaphysicians, I show that Ibn Sīnā has anticipated a counterpart of this argument, and that is precisely why he is ...
