Description
Résumé:The article aims at formulating a philosophical framework and by this giving some means at hand to save human libertarian freedom (due to ‘agent- causation’), God’s omniscience (viz.: three paradigms of God’s knowledge) and God’s ‘eternity’. This threefold aim is achieved by 1) conceiving of an agent as having different possibilities to act, 2) regarding God’s knowledge - with respect to agents - not only as being ‘propositional’ in character but also as being ‘experiential’: God knows an agent also from the ‘first person perspective’, as the agent knows herself, and, 3), formulating ‘eternity’ and ‘temporality’ as being homeomorphically related to each other. This gives rise to a coherent interplay that saves both human libertarian freedom and God’s omniscient ‘view from eternity’.
