Required Text Brian Davies, Philosophy of Religion: A Guide and Anthology, Oxford University Press, 2000. [ISBN 978-0-19-875194-6] Course Description Does God exist? Can God’s existence be proven? What is God’s essence? What is the human being’s relationship to God? What is faith? Is it possible to know God? Is God-talk meaningful and coherent? Does God have a rightful place in philosophical discourse? These are some of the many questions and problems that will be investigated in PHIL 230J: GOD AND PHILOSOPHY this term. As the title of the course suggests, we will be exploring the relationship between God “and” philosophy, generally speaking, not simply a philosophical concept of God. The emphasis should be placed on the conjunction which signifies a relation. To be sure, the reality of God is much greater than what is conceived within the parameters of philosophy alone. Blaise Pascal famously distinguished between the “God of the prophets” and the “God of the philosophers”. Bearing this in mind, we will endeavour to investigate the full reality of God, rather than merely what philosophers consider God to be.

    1 Getting Started Preliminaries COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL The Christian Theology Reader, Fifth Edition. Edited by Alister E. McGrath. Editorial material and organization © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Published 2017 by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. INTRODUCTION What is theology? The word has been used by Christians since the third century to mean “talk about God.” “Christian theology” thus means something like “talking about God in a Christian way,” recognizing that the word “god” means quite different things to different religious traditions. Christians think about their faith; “theology” is the term used for both this process of reflection and its outcome. To study theology is thus to think systematically about the fundamental ideas of Christianity. It is intellectual reflection on the act, content, and implications of the Christian faith. Starting to study Christian theology involves exploring a whole range of issues. Some of these focus on the identity and characteristics of theology itself. For example, what is theology? And how did it develop? How does it relate to other areas of life, such as philosophy or culture? How does our way of talking about God relate to our everyday language? To what extent – and in what ways – can the existence of God be proved? The present chapter provides readings which explore these and related issues, some in depth. One of the most important debates in Christian theology concerns the relationship between faith and reason. Tradi- tionally, Christian theology has seen reason as operating in a subservient role to revelation. Thomas Aquinas argued that supernatural truths need to be revealed to us. Human reason, on its own, cannot hope to gain access to divine mysteries.

  • The Ontological Proof: Kant’S Objections, Plantinga’S Reply
    KSO 2012: 122 The Ontological Proof: Kant’s Objections, Plantinga’s Reply Gregory Robson, Duke University I. Introduction hroughout Immanuel Kant’s era, philosophers richly debated René Descartes’s seventeenth-century reform- ulation of the ontological argument that Anselm origin- T 1 nally advanced in the eleventh century. In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant’s seminal analysis of the capacity and limits of reason and the implications of each for the claims of meta- physics, Kant offers a direct response to Descartes’s ontological proof, considering it against the backdrop of his own, broader line of argument in CPR. The result is perhaps the most des- tructive critique of the ontological argument ever produced.2 The aims of this essay are, first, to present Kant’s criticism of the ontological argument (or better, arguments3—herein I use 1 I am grateful to Gary Banham, Andrew Janiak, and two anonymous reviewers at Kant Studies Online for their feedback on earlier versions of this paper. 2 Alvin Plantinga has called Kant’s argument according to which existence is not a real property of things “[t]he most famous and important objection to the onto- logical argument” (Plantinga, God, Freedom, and Evil, 92). And, according to Kevin Harrelson, Kant’s rejection of the ontological argument on epistemic grounds constitutes “the most thorough criticism of that argument in the modern period” (Harrelson, The Ontological Argument from Descartes to Hegel, 167). 3 Of course, there is not just one ontological argument—some authors have even themselves offered several ontological arguments. Anselm himself, argues Nor- man Malcolm, put forward two distinct ontological arguments.

Dunthorne Abstract This thesis explores the role of Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) in the development of theological thought in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries. It aims to demonstrate that Anselm’s thought had a greater impact on the early development of scholastic theology than is often recognized, particularly in the areas of the doctrine of the incarnation and redemption, but also in his discussion of freedom and sin.

Some of these arguments are supposed to be proofs--i.e., deductively valid arguments with obviously true premises. Aquinas offered several arguments of this sort, the most persuasive of which is known as the Cosmological Argument (see Aquinas's Second Way). Anselm offered a version of what is known as the Ontological Argument, in the form of a reductio ad absurdum. Gaunilo tried to show that Anselm's argument could be used to prove the existence of the most excellent island, which by hypothesis is an imaginary (i.e., non-existent) island.

It also constitutes an illuminating example of a shared philosophical problem in the entangled intellectual histories of Europe and the Islamic World. Drawing on Aristotle, various forms of the argument were appro- priated by both rational Islamic Theology (kalām) and Islamic philosophers such as Avicenna. Whereas the argument, reshaped, refined and modified, has been intensively discussed throughout the entire post-classical era, particularly in the Islamic East, it has likewise been adopted in the West by thinkers such as the Hebrew Polymath Maimonides and the Medieval Latin Philosopher and Theologian Thomas Aquinas.

  • On the Ontological Argument Richmond Journal of Philosophy 3 (Spring 2003) Stephen Grant
    On The Ontological Argument Richmond Journal of Philosophy 3 (Spring 2003) Stephen Grant On The Ontological Argument Stephen Grant Introduction The ontological argument is one of the three classic philosophical arguments which aims to prove the existence of God. Where it differs from the cosmological and teleological arguments is that it runs along the lines of pure reason, and demands no empirical evidence to support the premises. The thrust of the argument is that if we properly understand our concept of God and we are rational, then we must accept He exists. Although this argument enjoyed a revival in the twentieth century, my focus in this article will be to set out the two earliest and best-known versions of the argument, which are found in the work of Anselm and Descartes, as well as considering what are widely regard as the most challenging responses, those of Immanuel Kant and Gottlob Frege. Anselm St Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) offered the first version of the ontological argument in the second and third chapters of Proslogion.1 The argument is presented as a response to the sceptical concerns of the Fool of Psalms 13 and 52 who doubts God’s existence. Anselm begins by characterising God as ‘something-than-which- nothing-greater-can-be-thought’, and asks us to consider which is greater, an object which exists only as an idea or one which exists both as an idea and in reality. Anselm claims that even the Fool must accept that the second option is the correct one, because if we choose the first, we can always think of something greater - an idea which also has an instance in the real world.
