Abstract: By endowing omniscience, omnipotence, immortality, and incomprehensibility with unambiguous meanings, the author shows how game theory can help breathe life into questions that have been dismissed too quickly simply because they are metaphysical- outside the world of experience. He clarifies the structure of our thought about an ultimate reality, whether or not it is viewed as religious.--[book cover].
