ABSTRACT
This paper investigates some consequences of a mathematical understanding of infinity and connectedness for a panentheistic conception of God. Given the existence of God and an understanding of the world in terms of the finite, countable infinity, or uncountable infinity I argue, (a) that a panentheistic conception of God is supported given a mathematical understanding of the infinite, (b) that by applying the notion of uncountable infinity and the mathematical concept of connectedness a panentheistic God can be seen as unifying irrespective of whether the world includes a finite, countably infinite or an uncountably infinite number of entities.

根据对无限性和连通性的数学理解进行泛神论
摘要
本文研究了对神的泛神论概念的数学上的无限性和连通性理解的一些后果。鉴于上帝的存在和对世界的无限,可数无穷或不可数无穷的理解,我认为:(a)鉴于对无穷的数学理解,支持了神的泛神论概念,(b)通过运用无穷无穷的概念和连通性的数学概念,无论世界包括有限,无穷或无穷多个实体,泛神论的上帝都可以被视为统一的。
