Challenging the New Atheism (eBook, ePUB)

Pragmatic Confrontations in the Philosophy of Religion

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a pragmatic response to the New Atheism movement. The author argues that analytic and empirical philosophies of religion are methodologically unequipped to address New Atheist thinkers and settles upon a modified version of pragmatism that he concludes is best suited for articulating the stakes of the God Debate.
