Synopsis
This collection of essays focuses on problems and themes from the philosophy of Peter van Inwagen, whose work has shaped the landscape in the philosophy of action, metaphysics, the philosophy of religion, and the philosophy of philosophy over the last 50 years.
The essays offer new insights and arguments about these topics from some of the most prominent living philosophers. The volume also contains seven "response essays" by van Inwagen himself, and a meta-philosophical introduction by the editor.
Topics covered include relational vs constituent ontologies, time travel, free will and moral responsibility, philosophical success and failure, the nature of nonsense, the compatibility of theism and evolution, the problem of evil, vagueness and morality, the ontological argument, and the doctrine of the atonement.

Review

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. John Keller presents a set of new essays on ontology, time, freedom, God, and philosophical method. Our understanding of these subjects has been greatly advanced, since the 1970s, by the work of Peter van Inwagen. The contributions, from some of the most prominent living philosophers, engage with van Inwagen's work and offer new insights in metaphysics, philosophy of religion, and the philosophy of philosophy. Van Inwagenhimself gives selective responses. In metaphysics, the volume will particularly interest philosophers working on free will, relational vs constituent ontologies, and time travel; in philosophy of religion, notabletopics include the ontological argument, the compatibility of theism and evolution, the problem of evil, and the doctrine of atonements. And there are three papers on the hot topic of philosophical success, with responses from van Inwagen. John Keller presents a set of new essays on ontology, time, freedom, God, and philosophical method. Our understanding of these subjects has been greatly advanced, since the 1970s, by the work of Peter van Inwagen. In this volume leading philosophers engage with his work, and van Inwagen himself offers selective responses.
