Wszechsubiektywność jako atrybut Boga (tł. Marcin Iwanicki i Joanna Klara Teske)

The author argues that the existence of subjectivity requires an addition to the traditional attributes of God, which she calls the attribute omnisubjectivity. It is the property of consciously grasping with perfect accuracy and completeness every conscious state of every conscious creature from that creature’s first- person perspective — the perspective of I. The author uses the analogy of empathy to defend the possibility of omnisubjectivity. She argues that given the existence of conscious beings in the universe, omnisubjectivity is entailed by such traditional attributes as omniscience and omnipresence, and it is implied by traditional practices of prayer. The author concludes by using the idea of one person’s grasp of another person’s subjectivity to give a possible explanation of the differences in the consciousness of the Persons of the Trinity.
