Book description
Graham Oppy examines contemporary arguments for and against the
existence of God. He shows that none of these arguments are persuasive
enough to change the minds of those participants on the question of the
existence of God. His conclusion is supported by detailed analyses of
contemporary arguments, as well as by the development of a theory about the
purpose of arguments, and the criteria that should be used in judging
whether or not an argument is successful. Oppy discusses the work of a wide
array of philosophers, including Anselm, Aquinas, Descartes, Locke, Leibniz,
Kant and Hume, and more recently, Plantinga, Dembski, White, Dawkins,
Bergman, Gale, and Pruss.
