Jules Lequyer: Prophet Of Open Theism (Powerpoint), Donald W. Viney

Faculty Submissions

This PowerPoint makes the case for considering Jules Lequyer as the "Prophet of Open Theism" because of his view of God as creating other creators, as affected by creaturely decisions, and therefore as facing a relatively open future. The PowerPoint was first presented in Dallas, Texas on October 24, 2014 at the Randomness and Foreknowledge Conference sponsored by the Templeton Foundation.

On The Trail Of A French Philosopher Of Genius, Jules Lequyer, Donald W. Viney

Faculty Submissions

This is a brief account of my travels in the summer of 1994 to Bretagne to trace the steps of the little-known French philosopher, Jules Lequyer (1814-1862). My wife and I were hosted by Dr. Paul Houillon and his family in Plouguernével. Our meetings with the mayors of Quintin (Lequyer's town of birth) and Plérin (where Lequyer is buried) were covered by two national French newspapers.
