This is an accessible survey of the most important thinkers on
Religion, from Aquinas, through Kant to William James. Arguments
concerning the existence and nature of God have been a staple of
western philosophy for over 2,000 years. "Philosophy of Religion:
The Key Thinkers" offers a comprehensive historical overview of
this fascinating field. Nine specially commissioned essays
introduce and explore the contributions of those philosophers who
have shaped the subject and the central issues and arguments
therein. The book reconstructs the history of the philosophy of
religion, clearly illustrating the most important attempts to
address such crucial issues as the ontological argument, the
cosmological argument, the problem of evil, miracles, the moral
argument, the design argument, religious experience and the idea of
god. Thinkers covered include Anselm, Aquinas, Pascal, Hume, Kant,
Paley and James. Crucially the book demonstrates why the ideas and
arguments these key thinkers developed are still relevant in
contemporary thought. Ideal for undergraduate students, the book
lays the necessary foundations for a complete and thorough
understanding of this fascinating subject.
