God and the Problem of Evidential Ambiguity

by Max Baker-Hytch

When it comes to what many of us think of as the deepest questions of existence, the answers can seem difficult to make out. This difficulty, or ambiguity, is the topic of this Element. The Element begins by offering a general account of what evidential ambiguity consists in and uses it to try to make sense of the idea that our world is religiously ambiguous in some sense. It goes on to consider the questions of how we ought to investigate the nature of ultimate reality and whether evidential ambiguity is itself a significant piece of evidence in the quest.

[Jake · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good, informative read. Hits what it needs to hit. There were some aspects of the dialectic that I thought were left unexplored. Baker-Hytch introduces a criticism against the involved approach about it being arbitrary which worldview one should choose to "inhabit" so as to ascertain its legitimacy and truth, but doesn't explore any criticisms to this line of thought. Given, however, that this is really my only criticism, and that the rest of the book is informative and easily readable, I give it five stars.
