Philosophical Problems and Arguments: An Introduction

by James W. Cornman, Keith Lehrer

This major version -- the first since 1982 -- features an extensive change in content, as well as a more capacious page and wider margins. While maintaining scrupulous examination of positions, arguments, and objections, every chapter has been reworked to improve its organisation, to make it more accessible and engaging to the student, and to reflect recent discussions. Chapter One introduces the student to the nature of philosophy as a discipline and to the methods of philosophical argument. Subsequent chapters treat the same fundamental topics as in earlier knowledge and scepticism, freedom and determinism, the mind-body problem, the rationality of belief in God, and the problem of choosing an ethical standard. New exercises have been added throughout.

[Leonardo]

Argumentan que la existencia de Dios es consistente con la cantidad de mal existente, pero poco probable.

Citado por Alvin Plantinga en Dios, la libertad y el mal.

I borrowed this from Perpusat. The book provides logical explanation on philosophy. It is quite mathematical to my liking, though, but if I have chance to have the book, I'll surely make use of it everyday!
