Abstract

panentheism (Latin for "All in God") posits the view that there is a God who encompasses the Universe but was not completely identical with that said Universe: in other words, that God encompasses the physical Universe, but also transcends it. First coined as a formal name and organized philosophy by German philosopher Karl Christian Friedrich Krause in 1828, panentheism was partly constructed to reconcile traditional Theism (God being a separate and distinct being from the Universe) and Pantheism (the idea that God is directly identical with Reality and/or Universe), in an attempt to adopt the strengths of both paradigms while avoiding their weaknesses. Possibly unbeknownst to Krause, panentheistic views of Universe-Creator relationships were far from new. Aside from being used by various humanists on a purely philosophical level, some interpretations of Hinduism, Platonic thought, and a host of other sects of traditional Monotheistic religions can be interpreted as panentheistic in nature.
