Divine Consciousness of Human Consciousness
AGATHEOS – European Journal for Philosophy of Religion January 30, 2026 Linda Zagzebski
The author argues from the certainty of one's own conscious state to the conclusion that God is a co-subject of every conscious experience, a position identified as panentheism. Starting with the premise that a currently occurring conscious state is the most certain thing, the paper moves through theses about consciousness always involving a subject, then examines models of divine omnisubjectivity. It concludes that God participates as a co-subject in each conscious state, making the view a form of panentheism.
