Citation Formats

Religious Parallels to the Simulation Hypothesis: Gnosticism, Mormonism, and Neoplatonism, Ian Huyett's 2024 article in Sophia, is a peer reviewed philosophy of religion journal article arguing that the simulation hypothesis reproduces the structure of Gnostic, Mormon and Neoplatonic cosmogonies, a flawed intermediate power fashioning the world beneath a truer order standing outside it. Its strength is that it is peer reviewed scholarship in an established philosophy of religion journal, confirmed against the journal's own listing. Its limit is that it argues one comparative reading among several possible ones, so a claim resting on it should also be checked against other scholarly treatments of the simulation hypothesis and religion.
