A new epistemological case for theism

چکیده
Abstract Relying on inference to the best explanation (IBE) requires one hold intuition that world is ‘intelligible’, is, such states of affairs at least generally have explanations for their obtaining. I argue metaphysical naturalists are rationally required withhold this intuition, unless they cease be naturalists. This because all plausible naturalistic aetiologies entail and state which it represents not causally connected in an epistemically appropriate way. Given ought rely IBE, forced pick latter change world-view. Traditional theists, contrast, do face predicament. This, argue, strong grounds preferring traditional theism naturalism.

With the advent of paraconsistent logics, dialetheism— the view that some contradictions are true — became a major player in the search for a solution to ...

متن کاملTheism & Mathematical Realism
Historically, most mathematicians have believed that mathematical truths such as "2+5=7" exist independently of human minds, being universally and eternally true. Mathematicians believe they are discovering properties of, say, prime numbers, rather than merely inventing them. This view of mathematics dates back to Pythagoras (500 BC) and Plato (400 BC). It is often called “Platonism”. In order ...
