    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.

    Zagzebski's entailment claim presupposes that omnipresence grants God causal access sufficient for phenomenal knowledge, but causal access alone does not entail experiential identity.

    Key Terms

    Causal access(refers to the problem that platonists must explain how we can causally connect to abstract objects)
    The ability to interact with or know something through cause-and-effect: touching it, observing it, or having it affect our senses in some way.
    Entailment claim(the overall logical argument being rejected)
    The claim that one statement logically forces or guarantees another statement must also be true.
    Omnipresence(as a divine attribute explaining God's constant involvement in nature)
    The quality of being present everywhere at all times; in this context, it means God is always and everywhere active in the world.
    Phenomenal knowledge(epistemology (theory of knowledge))
    Knowledge about what it's like to experience something—like what it feels like to taste chocolate or see the color red—based on actually experiencing it yourself.

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)
    Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
    Zagzebski(as a philosopher whose argument is being discussed)
    Linda Zagzebski is a contemporary philosopher who studies knowledge and how we acquire true beliefs; she's known for arguing that what makes knowledge valuable is different from what makes mere true beliefs valuable.
    experiential identity(what the statement argues doesn't automatically follow from causal access alone)
    The idea that if two beings have had the exact same direct experiences, they would have identical knowledge of what those experiences are like.
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
