The latest on Five Proofs
Check out a short interview I did for EWTN’s Bookmark Brief, hosted by Doug Keck, on the subject of
Five Proofs of the Existence of God
. The much longer interview I did for Bookmarkwill appear before long. At First Things, Dan Hitchens reflects on how the arguments of Five Proofs might be received in an age of short attention spans.
Jeff Mirus at Catholic Culture recommends Five Proofs.
At Catholic World Report, Christopher Morrissey kindly reviews Five Proofs. From the review:Whether all readers are convinced by Feser’s proofs or not, Feser’s lively approach in this book nonetheless demonstrates at least this much: despite all their bluster, natural theology’s funeral directors will inevitably be buried first. Feser takes a shovel to them.
End quote. Morrissey also offers some interesting critical reflections on the Augustinian proof (to which I may respond in a future post). As they say, read the whole thing. Some further comments from Morrissey at B.C. Catholic.
The blog Ontological Investigations is critically examining the book in a series of posts. Some of what is said is quite off-base (e.g. the false claim that I do not address the most serious critics). But overall this seems to be a serious attempt to grapple with the book’s arguments, and I may respond to some of it in a future post.
