Finally, I can refer to a somewhat different kind of passage in which Hartshorne uses the same language. "The nontheist at his heart," he says, "loves his fellows for themselves, for what they are. The theist in no sense lacks this ground for love. But the theist has a positive imagination [sic] of what it means to say, 'what [women and] men are.' He envisages no mere neutral 'truth' as containing all lives and all values, but an all-perceptive, all-participating living receptacle of reality and value. How can this belief make one love creatures the less -- the less—the belief that they are integral to the supreme creation, the divine life as newly enriched each moment by the lives of all?" (LP: 258).
