7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 6. Physicalism

16049	Definitions of physicalism are compatible with a necessary God [Bennett,K]
	Full Idea: All definitions of physicalism are compatible with the existence of a necessarily existing God.
	From: Karen Bennett (Supervenience [2011], 5.4)
	A reaction: All the definitions seem to depend on all the facts covarying with the physical facts, so anything which is invariant (such as divine or platonic entities) will stand outside the definition. Physicalism is more like a credo about all facts whatever.
