What sense, if any, does it make to speak of God? This question, of
such vital importance to religious commitment, occupies an
important place in discussion among Anglo-American philosophers of
religion whose orientation is logical analysis. 'Metatheological
scepticism' is the view that denies the intelligibility of
religious discourse, derived from a theory of meaning which holds
that a sentence has cognitive significance only if it makes a
statement that is conclusively verifiable on empirical grounds. Dr
Heimbeck's argument for the cognitive nature of religious discourse
is twofold. First, he shows that such discourse can qualify as
cognitively significant without having to satisfy the verification
requirement. Secondly, he shows that it does in fact satisfy such a
requirement because it is firmly rooted in the empirical realm.
Originally published in 1969, this book, for teachers and students
of philosophy of religion, is both easily comprehensible and highly
readable, although the discussion of philosophical and theological
points is conducted at an advanced level.
