Atheism and the Problem of Evil

Beschreibung

The book defends two arguments from evil for atheism. Each argument compares theism to a distinct atheistic hypothesis and shows that theism is much less probable than that hypothesis and thus is very probably false.

Autor

Paul Draper is Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University. Most of his published work applies theories of evidence and probabilistic reasoning to problems in philosophy of religion and philosophy of science. His favorite topic is the problem of evil, about which he has written more than a dozen papers, including his influential article, "Pain and Pleasure: An Evidential Problem for Theists." In his new book, Atheism and the Problem of Evil, Draper examines, not just facts about evil, but all of the most relevant evidence for and against theism, concluding that the God of traditional Western monotheism does not exist.
