Abstract

The ultimate aim of the philosophy of Whitehead is deification. One of the implications of this assertion in Whiteheadian terms is that each and every entity is in the midst of the trail directed towards the Wisdom of God in a microscopic process.

Whitehead does not necessarily equate God with creativity. But rather, by allowing the conceptual activities of God as a creature of creativity, he provides an important passage to resolve conflicts between antithetic views about God and harmonize contrasting positions. Moreover, such an approach to the understanding of God endures an ultimate completeness of a human being at the highest level of spirituality. Man, with his incomplete knowledge understands things from limited perspectives. God, however, is a possessor of true knowledge who understands all things and phenomena with completeness. In such Whiteheadian view Christ or Buddha is God.

The consequent nature of God is temporal, finite and conscious. The primordial nature of God is atemporal, infinite and unconscious. Imperfect knowledge divides this contrast into conflicting two, but God with complete knowledge brings the two together as one and provides a passage for mutual understanding. Diversities of the phenomenal world should not be approached simply as differentials of various situational aspects. But it needs to be viewed as an elaborate expression of faceless oneness. The Buddhist ideas from 'Three seed wisdom(三種智)' or 'Four wisdom(四智)' are the equivalence of wisdom of God: Diversity is the diversity of oneness, oneness is the oneness of diversity.  [Abstract from The Journal of Whitehead Studies]
