Omniscience and Wisdom
Ramon Harvey
Open publisher page 0 citations
Abstract
This chapter studies the divine attribute of omniscience, or knowledge, which was affirmed by many Islamic theologians, and wisdom, which was given special attention by al-Māturīdī. After discussion of premodern debates, a contemporary reading is made of these attributes. Notably, this includes a defence of divine omniscience against several prominent objections from different philosophical perspectives.
