The Argument from Consciousness and Divine Consciousness
European Journal for Philosophy of Religion March 21, 2013 Thomas Schärtl 2 citations
This paper refines the argument from consciousness by highlighting the first-person perspective as a distinctive feature that cannot be fully explained by materialism, thereby supporting a theistic explanation. It draws on knowledge arguments to challenge a posteriori materialism and suggests that divine knowledge is better understood as knowledge of things rather than knowledge of facts. The argument centers on how subjective experience points beyond purely physical accounts.
