How can I know I've perceived God?
International Journal for Philosophy of Religion 57 (2):105 - 121 (2005)
| Abstract | In this paper I argue that a necessary condition of ones perceiving God is that an experience of the right phenomenological sort be caused in one directly enough by God and – bypassing the issue of what is necessary for an experience to be of the right phenomenological sort – discuss some difficulties in finding reasons for thinking that God has or has not directly enough caused any such experience. | |||||||||
