- Abstract
- According to the abstract notion of God, God is an abstract object, and we use theological intuition to know about God. According to the concrete notion of God, by contrast, God is a concrete object, and we use the same cognitive faculties to know about God and other concrete objects. I raise the following objections to the abstract notion. It multiplies cognitive faculties beyond necessity. It conflicts with the Quine-Putnam indispensability argument, with the theological view that God created the world, with the traditional arguments for the existence of God, and with the notion of God in the Bible. The concrete notion works better than the abstract notion for religious practitioners.
