Description
The Cosmological Argument by William L. Rowe This comprehensive study examines the oldest and most famous argument for the existence of God, known as the Cosmological Argument. Professor Rowe explores its historical development from Aquinas to Samuel Clarke, analyzing key versions and major objections. Rowe delves into the philosophical concepts and theses underlying the Cosmological Argument, focusing on its form in the eighteenth century. He discusses how this argument has been presented by scholars such as Samuel Clarke and critically evaluates its justification for the belief in God. A new Preface offers insights into Rowe's own thinking and that of other scholars who have grappled with this topic, providing a nuanced understanding of the Cosmological Argument.
