Review Quotes:
"In Cosmopsychism and Original Sin, Harvey Cawdron develops a strikingly novel approach to the doctrine of original sin, drawing on cutting-edge work in the philosophy of mind. By integrating insights from cosmopsychism, he offers a fresh and illuminating perspective on a longstanding theological debate. This book is a powerful example of how bridging two distinct fields can yield fruitful results." --Yujin Nagasawa, Professor of Philosophy and Kingfisher College Chair of the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, University of Oklahoma, USA
"Cosmopsychism and Original Sin draws on new developments in metaphysics and philosophy of mind to address a central, longstanding Christian teaching. This is a significant, refreshing, creative contribution to philosophical theology." --Charles Taliaferro, Emeritus Overby Distinguished Professor, St. Olaf College, USA
