| Summary: | The article aims at formulating a philosophical framework and by this giving some means at hand to save human libertarian freedom (due to agent- causation), Gods omniscience (viz.: three paradigms of Gods knowledge) and Gods eternity. This threefold aim is achieved by 1) conceiving of an agent as having different possibilities to act, 2) regarding Gods knowledge - with respect to agents - not only as being propositional in character but also as being experiential: God knows an agent also from the first person perspective, as the agent knows herself, and, 3), formulating eternity and temporality as being homeomorphically related to each other. This gives rise to a coherent interplay that saves both human libertarian freedom and Gods omniscient view from eternity. |
