Philosophers have always acknowledged that to embark on a
philosophical discussion of the nature of God is to push philosophy
to its limits, if not to transgress those limits entirely. Even
those who were most confident that philosophy could and should
throw light on the nature of God have usually been comparatively
modest about how bright we should expect the light to be.
In the "The Nature of God" Gerard Hughes breaches the
philosophical construction of God and metaphysics by examining the
argumentative validity that has historically and philosophically
legitimized God as both essential and existent. Surveying the
themes of non-contradiction, necessity, and cause, Hughes tests the
philosophical terms and presuppositions which underlie arguments
alleging the existence and essence of God.
He looks at the work of Aquinas, Ockham, Hume, and Kant, by
interrogating the "characteristics" of God which have been
philosophically central: existence, simplicity, omniscience,
omnipotence, and goodness.
"The Nature of God" is compelling, sophisticated, and clear--an
altogether convincing critique of the subject of God and the
project which constructs God as existential and essential.
