Philosophical inquiry critiques the role of supreme authority in consciousness, suggesting a shift in perspective.
"Decentering God" is a philosophical inquiry into the structural role of supreme authority in human consciousness. The article argues that the concept of God is not merely a theological choice but a "cognitive architecture" implanted through culture and language from birth. By examining the parallels between divine centrality and anthropocentrism, Singh critiques the human tendency to anchor reality in a single dominant principle. The work reframes life as a "distributed field of adaptive expressions" rather than a hierarchical ladder, suggesting that philosophical maturity requires moving beyond the need for a cosmic center.
