Pantheism is the idea that God and the world are identicalthat the creator, sustainer, destroyer, and transformer of all things is the universe itself. From a monotheistic perspective, this notion is irremediably heretical since it suggests divinity might be material, mutable, and multiple. Since the excommunication of Baruch Spinoza, Western thought has therefore demonized what it calls pantheism, accusing it of incoherence, absurdity, andwith striking regularitymonstrosity.In this book, MaryJane Rubenstein investigates this perennial repugnance through a conceptual genealogy of pantheisms. What makes pantheism monstrousat once repellent and seductiveis that it scrambles the raced and gendered distinctions that Western philosophy and theology insist on drawing between activity and passivity, spirit and matter, animacy and inanimacy, and creator and created. By rejecting the fundamental difference between God and world, pantheism threatens all the other oppositions that stem from it: light versus darkness, male versus female, and humans versus every other organism. If the panic over pantheism has to do with a fear of crossed boundaries and demolished hierarchies, then the question becomes what a presentday pantheism might disrupt and what it might reconfigure. Cobbling together heterogeneous sourcesmedieval heresies, their pre and antiSocratic forebears, general relativity, quantum mechanics, nonlinear biologies, multiverse and indigenous cosmologies, ecofeminism, animal and vegetal studies, and new and old materialismsRubenstein assembles possible pluralist pantheisms. By mobilizing this monstrous mixture of unintentional Godworlds, Pantheologies gives an old heresy the chance to renew our thinking.
