    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Omnisubjectivity is better thought of as a further extension of divine cognitive perfection rather than a rejection of standard definitions of omniscience.

    If omnisubjectivity cannot be derived from propositional omniscience without an additional, non-standard epistemic principle, the entailment argument fails and omnisubjectivity remains a conceptually independent attribute.

    Key Terms

    Conceptually independent attribute(metaphysics and logic)
    A quality or characteristic that can logically exist on its own, without being forced to exist just because something else exists.
    Entailment argument(philosophy of religion)
    A logical argument that tries to prove one thing must be true because another thing is true—in this case, trying to prove that knowing all facts (propositional omniscience) automatically means experiencing everything (omnisubjectivity).
    Epistemic principle(epistemology (the study of knowledge))
    A basic rule or assumption about how knowledge works; 'epistemic' just means 'related to knowledge.'
    Non-standard epistemic principle(epistemology)
    A rule about knowledge that isn't one of the usual, widely-accepted rules philosophers normally rely on.

    Omnisubjectivity(philosophy of religion)
    The idea that God (or some all-knowing being) experiences or is aware of everything subjectively—meaning God doesn't just know facts about the world, but actually experiences what it's like to be in every situation.
    Propositional omniscience(philosophy of religion)
    The idea that God knows all true statements or facts about reality—basically, God knows every true proposition (a proposition is just a statement that can be true or false).
    entailment(Conceptualist framework)
    Understood in terms of truth at a world
