Beskrivning

Chapter 1 addresses some preliminary issues that it is important to think about in formulating arguments from evil. Chapter 2 is then concerned with the question of how an incompatibility argument from evil is best formulated, and with possible responses to such arguments. Chapter 3 then focuses on skeptical theism, and on the work that skeptical theists need to do if they are to defend their claim of having defeated incompatibility versions of the argument from evil. Finally, Chapter 4 discusses evidential arguments from evil, and four different kinds of evidential argument are set out and critically examined.

Recensioner i media

'The arguments in this book are thought-provoking and insightful, and Tooley raises important challenges to classical theism. While there are resources available by which the theist can face these challenges, this calls attention to two of the chief merits of this book: it helps to generate fruitful discussion, and it will likely prompt theists and atheists alike to delve more deeply into the problem of evil. This volume will be especially valuable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in the philosophy of religion.' James Kintz, Religious Studies Review
