Recenzii
The contributedessays are admirably clear, and the interview format lends itself to the clarity of aconversational style. The book is therefore well suited to readers, including schoolstudents, looking for an introduction to philosophical discussions of belief in theexistence of God.
Philosophers on God is brilliantly readable, and the topic is endlessly fascinating. Whether God exists or not, He or She has many advantages for the philosopher as a topic of speculation, not least that we are not likely to run out of things to say about the matter, because it will never be resolved. In this well-structured book, Jack Symes faces several eminent thinkers, some believers and some not, with exactly the sort of questions we'd put forward ourselves if we could think clearly enough. Some of their answers are more familiar than others, naturally; some surprised me; all told me something, and some told me a lot; none persuaded me completely. I end much as I began, like the judge in one of F.E. Smith's cases, no wiser than before, but much better informed.
This book is promoted as a "short, engaging and accessible guide to the mystery of existence", and on none of those counts does it disappoint.
Philosophers on God manages to be both insightful and extremely readable. The volume consists of short articles and engaging interviews from important philosophers around the globe. This volume will be a helpful resource in the classroom and at the coffee shop.
