Charles Hartshorne

Charles Hartshorne was a 20th-century philosopher known for his work in process philosophy, which posits that reality is dynamic and changeable, rather than static. He integrated these ideas into philosophical theology, arguing for a God who is both transcendent and affected by the world. In epistemology of religion, he explored how human experience and reason inform our understanding of the divine. Hartshorne also supported panpsychism, the idea that all entities possess some form of consciousness. His work emphasizes the interplay of faith and reason, suggesting that both are essential for understanding our existence and the divine.
