Description
"A unique, new anthology in the philosophy of religion, presenting the analytical viewpoint. The selections show that a real affinity exists between recent analytic research in the philosophy of religion and much of the traditional writings by medieval theologians and the rationalist and empiricist philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The author systematically introduces you to the major classical and contemporary issues in the philosophy of religion. This anthology views the total field, reflecting the impact on philosophical argumentation of the recent advances in metaphysical analysis, philosophy of logic, and philosophical psychology. The author integrates articles by lesser known individuals with standard works. He includes areas often neglected in philosophy of religion anthologies, such as prayer and ritual, creation and miracles, morality and religion, and foreknowledge and human freedom. Introductions to each section pinpoint important issues." [Book jacket].
