What is pantheism?

pantheism, generally regarded as a philosophical ideology, is, specifically, as a conception of the world through which certain philosophical tendencies can be integrated. Thus, it can be called “pantheism” to the doctrine that, faced with the terms “god” and “world”, resolves to identify them. Pantheism is, in this line, as can be seen, a clear variant of monism.

Pantheism tends to deny the existence of transcendent reality and that everything that exists is immanent. He generally argues that the principle of the world is not a person but involves something of an impersonal nature. It is also possible to recognize different variants of pantheism:

Asmist Pantheism

stalking conceives God as the only true reality, to which the world is reduced, which is conceived as manifestation, development, emanation or even process (as a “theophany”). This pantheism is called “seismic pantheism”.

Atheistic Pantheism

For the atheistic pantheism world is considered the only true reality, in such a way that it comes down to God. In this sense, divinity is conceived as the unity of the world, principle (usually “organic”) of Nature which is none other than the very end of Nature understood as self-consciousness of the world.
