Review of Amit Goswami's Book: God Is Not Dead: What Quantum Physics Tells Us about Our Origins and How We Should Live

Abstract

Goswami's book provides evidence for the reality of God, and he gives (page 34) an early outline: "In view of quantum physics, the vast data on life after death, and alternative subtle-body medicine, it is considerably more difficult to refute the ideas of downward causation and subtle bodies." Goswami is breaking new ground here. Nevertheless, the book could benefit with additional treatments of some classical philosophical arguments, and I mean to point to arguments that are beyond Thomas Aquinas. Hegel's "ontological proof of God" and Charles S. Peirce's "neglected argument for the reality of God" (as they are known) provide non-dual understandings that are agreeable to Goswami's monistic idealism, in my opinion. You can find this book at Amazon: God Is Not Dead: What Quantum Physics Tells Us about Our Origins and How We Should Live.
