• Indexicality, phenomenality and the trinity Catterson, Troy Thomas 2015 International Journal for Philosophy of Religion , Vol. 78 , Issue 2 , S. 167 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0020-7047 | 1572-8684 Abstract

    I utilize recent work in analytic epistemology on the notion of essentially indexical knowledge, as well as Marion's notion of saturated phenomenality, to ground the psychological model of the Trinity. I argue that classical theism implies that God is essentially omniscient. This omniscience entails complete self-knowledge on God's part. There are, however, truths about God's consciousness that are reducible neither to concepts nor to 1st person experience. These are the truths about how God's presence is perceived from a 2nd person perspective. In order for God to know such truths about himself, he would have to experience himself as both an 'I' and a 'You.' Thus, God must exist as a being with multiple subjective centers of consciousness.
