Meichanetsidis, VasileiosSwinburne, RichardOver the last 50 years, the English philosopher Richard Swinburne (b. 1934) has been a very influential proponent of philosophical arguments for the existence of God (natural theology). His major philosophical contributions lie in the areas of philosophy of science and philosophy of religion. From a general philosophical point of view, Swinburne stimulated much discussion with his early work in the philosophy of religion. He has also played a role (a) in the recent debate over the mind-body problem, and (b) in the debate on libertarian free will. Swinburne is also noted as one of the foremost current Christian apologists, arguing that faith in Christian God is rational and coherent in a rigorous philosophical sense. My discussion with Richard Swinburne revisits the analytic and non-analytic philosophy of religion. Above all, however, it aims at shedding light on Swinburne’s thought regarding some important philosophical issues, such as the Kantian arguments on the existence of God, the relationship between ratio and one’s immediate experience of God (empireia), “strong possibilities” the problem of the existence of evil in the world, but also the theological significance and value of Orthodoxy in contrast to other Christian creeds or even religions.application/pdfhttps://ejournals.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/Conatus/article/view/37535engThe NKUA Applied Philosophy Research Laboratoryhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Copyright (c) 2024 Vasileios MeichanetsidisConatus-Περιοδικό Φιλοσοφίας2459-38422653-9373Conatus - Περιοδικό Φιλοσοφίας; Τόμ. 9 Αρ. 2 (2024): Conatus - Journal of Philosophy; 305-314Conatus - Journal of Philosophy; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2024): Conatus - Journal of Philosophy; 305-314philosophy of religionanalytical philosophyfree willOrthodox theologyimmediate experience of Godmysticismrational element in faithstrong possibilitiesevilanalytical theologyProofs for the Existence of God: A Discussion with Richard Swinburneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion2024-12-29Δημοσίευση σε περιοδικόPublication in journalΣυνέντευξηInterviewΦιλοσοφίαPhilosophyisi - Philosophy covers resources on every branch of philosophy including logic, metaphysics, epistemology, descriptive ethics, and metaphilosophy.ΆρθροArticleΕργαστήριο Εφαρμοσμένης ΦιλοσοφίαςGreek Aggregator OpenArchives.gr | National Documentation Centre (EKT)
