Description

God, Value, and Nature by Fiona Ellis explores the relationship between philosophy and theology. Naturalism is often seen as the default position, but Ellis argues that an "expansive" naturalism can accommodate the idea of God, potentially challenging the atheist's perspective. Ellis draws on a wide range of thinkers from both analytic and continental philosophy to tackle various philosophical problems, including the limits of nature and the status of value. She also examines theological issues surrounding the natural/supernatural relation, the Incarnation, and the concept of myth, offering a model for understanding the connection between philosophy and theology. This book presents a nuanced approach to the debate between naturalism and theism, suggesting that these two perspectives are no longer logically incompatible.
