However, pantheism never developed into a formal doctrine. It is associated with the Egyptian religion when Ra , Isis and Osiris were identified with all existence. Many philosophical scholars think the great Greek philosopher Parmanides was a pantheist as well as Plotinus, Erigen, and Spinoza. The sentiment or belief in pantheism have predominantly influenced the thoughts and works of many poets, philosophers, mystics, and extremely spiritual people. Notably among pantheistic poets are Goethe, Coleridge, Wordsworth and Emerson.
Many modern poets consider pantheism existing in their world-view.
