(Responding to Daniel’s comments.) One of the things that panentheism implies is that the processes of life, the universe and everything (somehow) mirror (darkly) the processes of god. Under panentheism, to approach the ways of god you should approach …

Why exactly do you suppose that panentheistic premises would privilege cooperative living and communitarian values/practices?

I wish that we were beyond good and evil, but it seems wishful thinking, which is to say, human, all too human. (I do think we are –or should be– beyond good and bad.)

4.2 through 4.6 are coming from virtue theory and my hunch that any truly global religious culture (which isn’t to say a single culture) will have to draw on actual religious traditions and not on abstractions about them (however helpful those may be).

A panentheistic anthropology lends itself to talk of participation with god (to twist Platonic language) and to joint heirs and co-workers with god (to twist biblical language). Panentheistic virtues should be of this cooperative nature, and vices should be a violation somehow of the underlying order.

It’s highly intriguing.

What does a panentheistic ethics look like? Are we “beyond good and evil”? If so, how?
