2. Gud och vardagsspråket : En religionsfilosofisk förutsättningsanalys
Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this dissertation is to answer the question of how one can understand the fact that we mean very different things when we say that God exists and when we say that chairs, mountains and trees exist, and that it is still a matter of existence.

Sammanfattning : This study critically reconstructs, analyzes, and assesses reasons for embracing panentheism or pantheism instead of classical theism.
