Panentheism Addressing Western Philosophy

Panentheism is a new metaphysical system finding its way into Western Philosophy Passive observation elucidated by the Aristotelian Cartesian System of Cause and Effect was examined in some detail within Tractates 1-6 of this work. The Cartesian system emerged as a means of answering question regarding 'reality' as we perceived it to be. As to be expected when examining the progress of humanity's philosophical development, the philosophical development emerging from the foray of the initial questions led to the system of reality being elucidated as Cartesianism. Cartesianism, the concept of 1st truth generated by the understanding of a 'cause and effect' reality, in turn initiated its own unique set of questions which remained unanswered in terms of the limitations a Cartesian system presented regarding the whole of reality. Such unanswered questions riddle the description regarding the historical development of Western Philosophy as presented within Stephen Moor's synopsis. The direct and indirect questions expressed within the synopsis are addressed in the conclusion, The Peer Review, of Volume III. The directly and/or indirectly posed questions elucidated within the synopsis are addressed in the Peer Review following this tractate. The process of answering the questions within a separate tractate, rather than intermittently throughout this particular synopsis, is utilized to prevent interrupting the flow of the synopsis itself. The historical synopsis lays the necessary foundation by which the reader can better understand the historical influence underlying the questions submitted by the philosophers participating in the simulated peer review found within part two of the conclusion of this work. One must keep in mind that it is not just the Aristotelian Cartesian System of Cause and Effect which we find emerges from questions being asked and which leaves its own unique questions in place. We also find the Kant/Hegelian non-Cartesian system, a system lacking 'a' first truth, a system lacking 'cause and effect', a foundationless system emerging from the questions being asked. The development of a non-Cartesian system in turn leaves its own unique set of questions. It is the questions left by both the Cartesian and the non-Cartesian systems, which initiate the question: Why now? Why does the new system, Cartesianism existing with non-Cartesianism, Cartesianism, Cartesianism acting as the 'power' source for non-Cartesianism, 'a' first truth found within the lack of 'a' first truth, multiplicity found within singularity, 'being' being 'Being, symbiotic panentheism emerge now at this point in time. The non-Cartesian system emerged as a result of the questions the emergence of the Cartesian system put into play. The reason the New Metaphysical Perception of the individual acting within God emerges now is that the unique questions left in place through the independent development of both the Cartesian system and non-Cartesian systems describing 'reality' beg to be answered. Neither the Cartesian nor the non-Cartesian systems are capable, on their own, of answering all the unique questions each system generates. It is the development of this new Metaphysical model of panentheism, it is the development of this third metaphysical system, a system labeled as panentheism, which provides 'a' and perhaps 'the only', means of answering such questions based upon reason/philosophy.
