Does God exist? What are the various arguments that seek to
prove the existence of God? Can atheists refute these arguments?
The Existence of God: A Philosophical Introduction assesses
classical and contemporary arguments concerning the existence of
God:
- The ontological argument, introducing the nature of existence,
possible worlds, parody objections, and the evolutionary origin of
the concept of God.
- The cosmological argument, discussing metaphysical paradoxes of
infinity, scientific models of the universe, and philosophers
discussions about ultimate reality and the meaning of life.
- The design argument, addressing Aquinas 's Fifth Way, Darwin 's
theory of evolution, the concept of irreducible complexity, and the
current controversy over intelligent design and school
education.
Bringing the subject fully up to date, Yujin Nagasawa explains
these arguments in relation to recent research in cognitive
science, the mathematics of infinity, big bang cosmology, and
debates about ethics and morality in light of contemporary
political and social events.
The book also includes fascinating insights into the passions,
beliefs and struggles of the philosophers and scientists who have
tackled the challenge of proving the existence of God, including
Thomas Aquinas, and Kurt G del - who at the end of his career as a
famous mathematician worked on a secret project to prove the
existence of God.
The Existence of God: A Philosophical Introduction is an ideal
gateway to the philosophy of religion and an excellent starting
point for anyone interested in arguments about the existence of
God.
