Causation and Universals(1st Edition)
by Evan Fales
Paperback, 384 Pages, Published 2016 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-138-96998-8, ISBN: 1-138-96998-2

"The world contains objective causal relations and universals, both of which are intimately connected. If these claims are true, they must have far-reaching consequences, breathing new life into the theory of empirical knowledge and reinforcing epistemological realism. Without causes and universals, Professor Fales argues, realism is defeated, and idealism or scepticism wins. Fales begins with a detailed analysis of David Hume's argument ..."






Divine Intervention(1st Edition)
Metaphysical and Epistemological Puzzles (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion)
by Evan Fales
Paperback, 204 Pages, Published 2015 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-138-87343-8, ISBN: 1-138-87343-8

"This study is a new look at the question of how God can act upon the world, and whether the world can affect God, examining contemporary work on the metaphysics of causation and laws of nature, and current work in the theory of knowledge and mysticism. It has been traditional to address such questions by appealing to God's omnipotence and omniscience, but this book claims that this is useless unless it can be ..."

Paperback, 268 Pages, Published 1994 by University Of Iowa Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-87745-456-4, ISBN: 0-87745-456-6

"Contemporary developments in human genetics are profoundly meaningful, both for the rapidity of scientific discoveries and for their person and social implications. The Human Genome Project, a worldwide effort to map the 50,000 to 100,000 genes making up the human blueprint, is creating new ways of understanding ourselves as individuals, as parents, as members of a family, an ethnic group, a species. Almost every day yet another medical ..."

Divine Intervention
Metaphysical and Epistemological Puzzles
by Evan Fales
Digital, 204 Pages, Published 2010 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-135-14978-9, ISBN: 1-135-14978-X

"The central theme of this book is that it's not enough to invoke omnipotence and omniscience as answers to the questions of God's ability to create and causally affect the world (i.e., perform miracles) and human beings (i.e., to cause mystical experiences) and, conversely, God's ability to perceive, or otherwise know about the world. Rather, it is incumbent upon theists to explain just how a personal, immaterial being such as God could ..."

"The Case for Humanism is the premier textbook on the 'big ideas' of Western humanism--secularism, rationalism, materialism, democracy, individualism, and many others. Students are invited to think critically about these powerful themes that run through Western thought from the ancient Greeks, to the Enlightenment, to the present day.

"What sets the practice of rigorously tested, sound science apart from pseudoscience? In this volume, the contributors seek to answer this question, known to philosophers of science as “the demarcation problem.” This issue has a long history in philosophy, stretching as far back as the early twentieth century and the work of Karl Popper. But by the late 1980s, scholars in the field began to treat the demarcation problem as impossible to ..."

The present volumes Oxford Readings in Philosophical ..."
