== Hartshorne's Classical Pantheism ==

This usage of the term Classical Pantheism was first presented by [[Charles Hartshorne]] in 1953,<ref>Charles Hartshorne and William Reese, "Philosophers Speak of God," Humanity Books, 1953, ch. 4.</ref> and by others discussing his presentation.<ref>David Ray John B. Cobb, Clark H. Pinnock, "Searching for an Adequate God: A Dialogue Between Process and Free Will Theists", William B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2000, p. 177.</ref>  In making his case for [[panentheism]], Hartshorne sought to distinguish panentheism, which rejects determinism, from deterministic pantheism.<ref>Park, Chan Ho, "Transcendence And Spatiality of the Triune Creator", European Academic Publishers, 2005, p. 4. </ref>

The term "pantheism" is derived from Greek words pan (πᾶν, "all") and theos (θεός, "God"), together meaning "All-God" or "All is God."  It is often associated with [[monism]], the view that reality is a single thing.

The ''Encyclopedia of Religion'' refers to this form of Pantheism as an "extreme [[monism]]," stating that in Classical Pantheism, "God decides or determines everything, including our supposed decisions."<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopedia of Religion: Volume 10|year=2005|publisher=MacMillan|location=USA|isbn=0028657330|edition=2nd|editor=Lindsay Jones|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofre0000unse_v8f2}}</ref> Other examples of deterministic-inclined pantheisms include the views of [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]], [[Ernst Haeckel]], and [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel]].
