Download or read book Philosophy of Religion written by Tim Bayne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the philosophy of religion? How can we distinguish it from theology on the one hand and the psychology/sociology of religious belief on the other? What does it mean to describe God as eternal? And should religious people want there to be good arguments for the existence of God, or is religious belief only authentic in the absence of these good arguments? In this Very Short Introduction Tim Bayne introduces the field of philosophy of religion, and engages with some of the most burning questions that philosophers discuss. Considering how religion should be defined, and whether we even need to be able to define it in order to engage in the philosophy of religion, he goes on to discuss whether the existence of God matters. Exploring the problem of evil, Bayne also debates the connection between faith and reason, and the related question of what role reason should play in religious contexts. Shedding light on the relationship between science and religion, Bayne finishes by considering the topics of reincarnation and the afterlife.

Download or read book The Problem of Evil written by Michael L. Peterson and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the issues in the philosophy of religion, the problem of reconciling belief in God with evil in the world arguably commands more attention than any other. For over two decades, Michael L. Peterson’s The Problem of Evil: Selected Readings has been the most widely recognized and used anthology on the subject. Peterson's expanded and updated second edition retains the key features of the original and presents the main positions and strategies in the latest philosophical literature on the subject. It will remain the most complete introduction to the subject as well as a resource for advanced study. Peterson organizes his selection of classical and contemporary sources into four parts: important statements addressing the problem of evil from great literature and classical philosophy; debates based on the logical, evidential, and existential versions of the problem; major attempts to square God's justice with the presence of evil, such as Augustinian, Irenaean, process, openness, and felix culpa theodicies; and debates on the problem of evil covering such concepts as a best possible world, natural evil and natural laws, gratuitous evil, the skeptical theist defense, and the bearing of biological evolution on the problem. The second edition includes classical excerpts from the book of Job, Voltaire, Dostoevsky, Augustine, Aquinas, Leibniz, and Hume, and twenty-five essays that have shaped the contemporary discussion, by J. L. Mackie, Alvin Plantinga, William Rowe, Marilyn Adams, John Hick, William Hasker, Paul Draper, Michael Bergmann, Eleonore Stump, Peter van Inwagen, and numerous others. Whether a professional philosopher, student, or interested layperson, the reader will be able to work through a number of issues related to how evil in the world affects belief in God.

Download or read book Natural Signs and Knowledge of God written by C. Stephen Evans and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there such a thing as natural knowledge of God? C. Stephen Evans presents the case for understanding theistic arguments as expressions of natural signs in order to gain a new perspective both on their strengths and weaknesses. Three classical, much-discussed theistic arguments - cosmological, teleological, and moral - are examined for the natural signs they embody. At the heart of this book lie several relatively simple ideas. One is that if there is a God of the kind accepted by Christians, Jews, and Muslims, then it is likely that a 'natural' knowledge of God is possible. Another is that this knowledge will have two characteristics: it will be both widely available to humans and yet easy to resist. If these principles are right, a new perspective on many of the classical arguments for God's existence becomes possible. We understand why these arguments have for many people a continued appeal but also why they do not constitute conclusive 'proofs' that settle the debate once and for all. Touching on the interplay between these ideas and contemporary scientific theories about the origins of religious belief, particularly the role of natural selection in predisposing humans to form beliefs in God or gods, Evans concludes that these scientific accounts of religious belief are fully consistent, even supportive, of the truth of religious convictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theism is the view that God exists; naturalism is the view that there are no supernatural beings, processes, mechanisms, or forces. This Element explores whether things are better, worse, or neither on theism relative to naturalism. It introduces readers to the central philosophical issues that bear on this question, and it distinguishes a wide range of ways it can be answered. It critically examines four views, three of which hold (in various ways) that things are better on theism than on naturalism, and one of which holds just the opposite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosophical inquiry into the strengths and weaknesses of theism and naturalism in accounting for the emergence of consciousness, the visual imagination and aesthetic values. The authors begin by offering an account of modern scientific practice which gives a central place to the visual imagination and aesthetic values. They then move to test the explanatory power of naturalism and theism in accounting for consciousness and the very visual imagination and aesthetic values that lie behind and define modern science. Taliaferro and Evans argue that evolutionary biology alone is insufficient to account for consciousness, the visual imagination and aesthetic values. Insofar as naturalism is compelled to go beyond evolutionary biology, it does not fare as well as theism in terms of explanatory power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a most excellent book. It is well and simply written, it abounds in common-sense, and on its every page it reveals the genuine philosopher, none the less genuine because thoroughly imbued with religious sympathies. The aim of the volume is outlined by the author in his first pages. "I propose in the following pages to defend a view of the world which is frankly religious and theistic, in opposition to certain modern types of philosophical thought which are now widely prevalent. The results which I shall advocate do not therefore depart very far from the presuppositions which underlie the ordinary Christian consciousness, when these are interpreted not in a dogmatic, but in a broadly philosophical way." Professor Rogers has no sympathy with the attitude of the "disinterested spectator" in matters philosophical. It is not necessary to cease to be a man to become a philosopher. Indeed, "no man can philosophize rightly who has no personal concern in the common hopes and fears and ideals and beliefs of men, and the profession of this is either an affectation or a limitation." As is only natural and fitting the first chapter is reserved for a discussion of the Foundations of Knowledge, since the author is rightly desirous of a secure and intelligible basis for faith in religious ideals; and ere long he is in close quarters with a philosophy all too prevalent in the present day. Professor Rogers has no dealings with Pragmatism; he holds that there are a "good many things beyond our experience which we can only know mediately, and that between them and our knowledge of them there is a gulf fixed which can never be bridged completely in terms of immediate experiencing." His main contention is that the Pragmatist attitude fails to satisfy all our normal human demands, it rests too exclusively upon the scientific motive. For him one great human demand forms a starting-point, as important in its own way as the Cogito ergo sum of Descartes-it is the demand for the existence of other selves made by the social aspect of experience. With such a demand satisfied knowledge has " in some fashion or other the ability to reach out beyond the experience of which it is an immediate part," and one has avoided the "most fundamental and most fatal perversion of the moral life" by treating human beings as ends and not merely means. In the opinion of the author experience implies an unexplored and vast beyond, experience in itself is not all that reality means for us; there is therefore necessary a discussion concerning the Validity of Knowledge, and such is the subject of the second section of the book. Professor Rogers crosses swords with Herbert Spencer and all likeminded philosophers, who use the doctrine of " relativity of knowledge" to discredit the knowledge of absolute reality; and though it is difficult to use new weapons or new tactics in such a fray, he has much to say that is both pointed and illuminating. "No man is a sceptic in every direction ... the skeptic has no more business to universalize his own attitude than a child would have to demand that everybody should stop playing because he himself is tired." But granted that knowledge is possible, what is the test of a true opinion? The author has his answer ready-it is clearness, not in a Cartesian sense, but the clearness of " an articulated system in which all distinctions stand in sharp relief." To elucidate this and also to guard against misapprehension, he proceeds to a discussion of the relationship of feeling to rationality, and he claims the right of feeling to be reckoned a factor in the search for truth. For rationality is merely the impulse to harmonize experience, and a harmony won by ignoring any data is not worth winning.... -Review of Theology & Philosophy, Volume 3 [1908]
