1. Logic And Theism
Arguments For and Against Beliefs in God
A rigorous, technically dense examination of arguments for and against the existence of God, this work reconstructs classical and contemporary cases using formal modal logic, probability theory, and decision theory. It analyzes ontological, cosmological, teleological, moral, and pragmatic arguments, alongside assessments of the coherence of divine attributes, the tension between foreknowledge and freedom, and the evidential problem of evil. Throughout, it exposes logical gaps and probabilistic shortcomings in pro-theistic reasoning while clarifying the strengths and limits of skeptical critiques, ultimately judging the traditional case for theism to be unsuccessful.
