Omnisubjectivity, Divine Imagination, and the Particular Problem of Creation

Abstract

For several years Linda Zagzebski has been exploring the coherence and theological implications of an attribute called omnisubjectivity. In her mind, the theological implications of omnisubjectivity could extend to Christian doctrines such the Trinity, sanctification, and more. For this essay, I wish to consider Zagzebski’s suggestion that omnisubjectivity could be useful for dealing with the particular problem of creation. I will argue that the current models for omnisubjectivity cannot help with the particular problem of creation, but that divine imagination and simulation can be developed in order to offer some minimal assistance for dealing with the particular problem of creation.
