What’s What - Most important Philosophy of Religion Articles
Categories: Logic, Worldviews, Epistemology, Books and Reviews, Thomism, Metaphysics, Religion, Things of Interest, Philosophy.
Mathew Mullins over at Prosblogion started a neat little list of must read articles in the last 50 years. He says:
“The project is to answer the following question. “What are the most important philosophy of religion articles published since 1950? I know there were many influential books written during this period, but that’s a list for another day. I’ve answered only for the period 1950-1979 but I’d like to extend this list up trough the 90’s. I’m interested to see what other people would add or subtract from the list. The list is below the fold.”
Very intersting list indeed. Personally, Quine, Alston, Nielson and especially Kretzmann are of great interest. Here is the list folks and see if any of you would like to help this list out.
