Abstract

But there is a danger of moving too fast--of wishing to talk about the relation of the world to God without first getting a sound metaphysics of the being of experience. Those who wish to begin metaphysics with the existence of God, or to consider the whole of metaphysics as theology, are, it seems to me, involved in a circular process: being is known through knowing God, and God is known only as the cause of being.
