Philosophers Speak of God

This wide-ranging anthology of philosophical writings on the concept of God presents a systematic overview of the chief conceptions of deity as well as sceptical and atheistic critiques of theological ideas. The selections cover key philosophic developments in this subject area from ancient times to modern in both the East and West. Editors Hartshorne and Reese - two of the most highly respected scholars in the philosophy of religion-have not only selected many arresting passages from the world’s great thinkers but have also analysed and evaluated the underlying ideas, showing how they fit into major, overarching systems of thought. Philosophers Speak of God is a richly varied selection of high-quality writing on a perennial subject that will provide the serious student a thorough foundation in the philosophy of religion.
