All Things Are Full of Gods

In this book, David Bentley Hart engages in an unprecedented exploration of the mystery of consciousness through a Platonic dialogue.

A group of aging Greek gods discuss the nature of existence, the mystery of mind, and whether there is a transcendent God from whom all things come.

Hart systematically subjects the mechanical view of nature that has prevailed in Western culture for four centuries to dialectical interrogation, arguing that mental acts are irreducible to material causes.

He powerfully rehabilitates a classical view where the structures of mind, organic life, and even language attest to an infinite act of intelligence in all things that we may as well call God.
