Dombrowski, Daniel A.

Daniel A. Dombrowski (1953-) is an American philosopher specializing in philosophy of religion, process philosophy, and philosophical theology. Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University, Dombrowski has made significant contributions to contemporary discussions of theism through his engagement with process thought and neoclassical philosophical theology. His work "Rethinking the Ontological Argument: A Neoclassical Theistic Response" (2006) represents a major reexamination of Anselm's ontological argument from a process philosophical perspective, particularly drawing on Charles Hartshorne's modal version. Dombrowski defends a neoclassical conception of God that emphasizes divine relativity and temporal awareness while maintaining necessary existence. His broader philosophical project involves synthesizing classical theistic insights with process metaphysics, contributing to debates about divine attributes, religious language, and the coherence of theism. He has also written extensively on mysticism, animal ethics, and the history of philosophy.
