Is Power Fundamentally Social?
March 7, 2024
Dan looks at another argument in Thomas Jay Oord’s new book: The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence. Oord takes the premises:
• Power is fundamentally social (it must be exercised on something).
• Power does not exist in absolute isolation
and he infers:
• If God once existed without creation, that God had no power.
• If that God had no power, that God could not have created anything.
Does this argument work? Dan shares his initial doubts.
