Resolving Aristotle's Antinomy of Creation



Link: http://www.philosophos.com/philosophy_article_147.html

Abstract: I argue that Aristotle is correct in his apparently
contradictory conclusions that God is necessary as the first mover to
explain the existence of the world and that God is not able to be the
cause of an entity that is significantly different from God. The
cosmic process exists to make possible the self-creation of a communal
entity whose nature is not significantly different from God's nature,
resolving Aristotle's contradiction. Humans are involved in this
process, creating aspects of their own being and their cultures. This
self-creative process can enable humans to become similar to God in
knowledge, creativity and goodness. Link: http://www.philosophos.com/philosophy_article_147.html
