Rezensionen

"This is an ambitious and persuasive appropriation of Bergson's thinking aiming to address one of the perennial problems of theism: the relation of divine foreknowledge to human freedom. Moravec's ground-breaking and barrier-breaking book will be required reading for all those interested in the philosophy of religion."

Mark Sinclair, Queen's University Belfast

"This is a unique contribution to the field bringing together analytic and continental philosophical reflections on God, time, and free will. Moravec offers a fascinating and lucid reconstruction of Bergson's thought, and creatively draws out the implications for contemporary debates within the philosophy of religion."

R.T. Mullins, University of Lucerne
