Synopsis

Philosophy of Religion seeks to clarify and evaluate the key concepts of religion as well as those which are uniquely characteristic of particular religious traditions. Sterling's introduction to the philosophy of religion is written from a universalist perspective; he considers the point of view of one who sees an underlying harmony between the different religions of the world and he emphasizes their points of agreement. Sterling outlines nine philosophical propositions about reality and the supersensible and proceeds to discuss the individuality of perception as it figures into a religious discourse. He approaches the greatest challenges of spiritual doctrine with a broad and patient agenda.
Contents: A Universalist Perspective on Religions; What is Philosophy of Religion? The Concept of God; Proving that God Exists; The Concept of Life After Death; The Problem of Evil; The Brain-Dependency Argument; Refutation of Direct Realism.
