God, Value, and Nature by Fiona Ellis PDF

By Fiona Ellis

Many philosophers think that God has been positioned to relaxation. Naturalism is the default place, and the naturalist can clarify what should be defined with no recourse to God. This ebook concurs that we must always be naturalists, however it rejects the extra accepted medical naturalism in favour of an 'expansive' naturalism encouraged by way of David Wiggins and John McDowell. it really is argued that expansive naturalism can accommodate the assumption of God, and that the expansive naturalist
has unwittingly lead the way in the direction of a sort of naturalism which poses a real problem to the atheist. It follows that the normal naturalism as opposed to theism debate has to be reconfigured: naturalism and theism are not any longer logically incompatible; really, they could either be true.

Fiona Ellis attracts on a variety of thinkers from theology and philosophy, and spans the gulf among analytic and continental philosophy. She tackles a number of philosophical difficulties together with the bounds of nature and the prestige of worth; a few theological difficulties surrounding the natural/supernatural relation, the Incarnation, and the idea that of fantasy; and provides a model—inspired via the secular expansive naturalist's belief of philosophy—to understand the relation among philosophy and
theology.
