Christian Love And Whitehead’s Poetic God
Christian Love And Whitehead’s Poetic God

Summary/Abstract: Whitehead uses the term God along two lines of thought: to make a typology of religion – i.e., a typology of how divinity is understood in each type of religion (Religion in the Making) – and to formulate his own philosophy in terms of metaphysics (Process and Reality). I propose a comparison between the concept of Christian Love and the meaning, in each of these two contexts, of the term God. In this way I want to investigate whether God, as he appears in Whitehead’s philosophy, maintains a relationship with the way divinity appears in Christianity, particularly when it is defined as Christian Love.
