Revision as of 22:52, 1 October 2001 by AxelBoldt (talk | contribs) (*Mention Spinoza)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Pantheism is the view that everything is God. One important pantheistic system was that advanced by Baruch Spinoza.
Pantheism is often attacked as being vacuous, since it appears to some to do little more than redefine the word 'God' to mean 'world'. The most important task for pantheists then is to show that the universe has properties which deserve it being called 'God'.
Closely related to pantheism is panentheism.
