Philosophy of Religion

The philosophy of religion addresses not only the perennial question Is there a God?, but also the questions If there is, then what is he like? and, most important of all, What does that mean for us?
These are questions that everyone should ask themselves at some point in their lives. This site attempts to demystify the philosophy of religion, and so to help people to reach views on these questions.

Is There a God?

The first section of the site, Arguments for the Existence of God, explains the classic arguments for a positive answer to the question Is there a God? The debate concerning God’s existence has, of course, been going on for millenia. That does not mean, however, that no progress has been made. Some of the classic arguments for God’s existence have been largely abandoned, others have been refined, and new arguments or points about arguments do regularly appear. The search for an answer to the question of God’s existence should not be written off as futile simply because the question is an old one.
