God, Value, and Nature

Zusatztext ambitious and thought-provoking ... God, Value, and Nature thus achieves a remarkable goal: it offers reconciliation between theists and naturalists, yet without forcing either side to give up any of their dearest beliefs ... Ellis' book is not only a fine example of first-rate philosophy, but also of a first-rate philosophical attitude. Informationen zum Autor Fiona Ellis is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Roehampton and Director of the Centre for Philosophy of Religion at Heythrop College, University of London. She has published on a wide variety of subjects including the philosophy of love and desire, nature and naturalism, and the relation between philosophy and theology.

Klappentext This book takes on board the assumption that we should be naturalists, and argues that the position can accommodate the idea of God. Naturalism and theism are no longer logically incompatible, and the fashionable atheism of our times is shown to depend upon an unwarranted commitment to scientism and a questionable conception of God.
