"Edward Feser is widely recognized as a top scholar in the history of philosophy in general, and in Thomistic and Aristotelian philosophy in particular. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College
The concluding chapter, where Feser replies to possible objections to his arguments, is a gem it alone is worth the price of this excellent work."
Feser has completely severed the intellectual legs upon which modern atheism had hoped to stand." It thereby serves as a refutation both of atheism and of the fideism that gives aid and comfort to atheism. Its aim is to vindicate the view of the greatest philosophers of the past- thinkers like Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas, Leibniz, and many others- that the existence of God can be established with certainty by way of purely rational arguments. This work provides as ambitious and complete a defense of traditional natural theology as is currently in print. Finally, it answers at length all of the objections that have been leveled against these proofs. It also offers a thorough treatment of each of the key divine attributes-unity, simplicity, eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, and so forth-showing that they must be possessed by the God whose existence is demonstrated by the proofs. The course will start on the 19th of January, 2019 and will terminate when all 8 lessons are completed.This book provides a detailed, updated exposition and defense of five of the historically most important (but in recent years largely neglected) philosophical proofs of God’s existence: the Aristotelian, the Neo-Platonic, the Augustinian, the Thomistic, and the Rationalist.
