Divine Action and Emergence puts the classical
Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition in conversation with current
philosophy and theology. As a middle path between classical theism
and pantheism, the panentheistic turn in the twentieth century has
been described as a “quiet revolution.” Today, in fact, many
theologians hold that the world is “in” God (who, at the same
time, is more than the world). Panentheism has been especially
influential in the dialogue between theology and the natural
sciences. Many have seen panentheism as compatible with
emergentism, and thus have brought the two together in developing
models of divine action that do not abrogate the regularities of
processes of the natural world. In Divine Action and Emergence,
Mariusz Tabaczek argues that, as inspiring and intriguing as
emergentist panentheism is, it requires deeper examination. He
begins by looking at the wonder of emergence (which calls into
question the overly reductionist attitude in natural science) and
by reflecting philosophically on emergence theory in light of
classical and new Aristotelianism. Moving in a theological
direction, Tabaczek then offers a critical evaluation of
emergentist panentheism and a constructive proposal for how to
reinterpret the idea of divine action as inspired by the theory of
emergence with reference to the classical Aristotelian-Thomistic
understanding of God’s action in the universe. Through a unique
interdisciplinary approach that puts theology and the natural
sciences into a dialogue through philosophy, Divine Action and
Emergence offers a comprehensive evaluation of panentheism.
It then puts forward an original reinterpretation of emergence
theory, thus setting forth a constructive proposal for
reinterpreting the concept of divine action that is currently
espoused by emergence theory. It will appeal to scholars of
theology and philosophy, those who work in the area of theology and
science, those interested in emergence theory or panentheism, and
finally those who are interested in the dialogue between the
classical Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition and contemporary
philosophy and theology.
