| Résumé : |
Is it possible to prove or disprove God's existence? Arguments for the existence of God have taken many different forms over the centuries: in *The Non-Existence of God*, Nicholas Everitt considers all of the arguments and examines the role that reason and knowledge play in the debate over God's existence. He draws on recent scientific disputes over neo-Darwinism, the implication of 'big bang' cosmology, and the temporal and spatial size of the universe; and discusses some of the most recent work on the subject, leading to a controversial conclusion. ### Review **'Aimed primarily at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in philosophy ... ***The Existence of God***, though, is welcome confirmation that philosophical sophistication is not incompatible with clarity and sheer, bracing good sense.'** - *New Humanist* **'This is a fine discussion of some of the central problems in the philosophy of religion ... a very considerable achievement, which clearly and provocatively gives new life to some ancient issues.'** - *Ars Disputandi* **'A brilliant analysis of the arguments for and against the existence of God. Although written primarily as a textbook, the clarity of exposition makes it ideal as a primer for any reader who really wants to get to grips with the issues.'** - *The Scientific and Medical Network* **'***The Non-Existence of God***, though, is welcome confirmation that philosophical sophistication is not incompatible with clarity and sheer, bracing good sense.'** - *New Humanist* **' ... this is a lively and thought-provoking book which genuinely brings fresh insights.'** - *Theology* **' ... provides a comprehensive overview of most strands in what has become a complex debate. Issues of epistemology are covered sensibly and the main theistic arguments are criticised probingly. This makes it a useful introductory text for students or the (dedicated) layperson.'** - *The Philosophers' Magazine* ### About the Author Nicholas Everitt is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, UK. He is the co-author of Modern Epistemology (1995). |
