- Title
JONATHAN EDWARDS AS A PLURALISTIC PERSONALIST.
- Authors
Hall, Richard A. S.
- Abstract
There are Personalistic elements in Jonathan Edwards' thought clearly anticipating the fully fledged Personalism of G. H. Howison. Both are idealists since for them the only reality is minds/persons. Both are pluralists insofar as they agree that many minds are a necessary condition for values-for Edwards, moral and aesthetic values, for Howison, human individuality and freedom. Both consider infinite mind (God) and finite minds (human) as constituting a pluralistic unity, i.e. Edwards' 'being-in-general' and Howison's 'eternal Republic of God'.
