[EAN: 9780812696899], Neubuch, [PU: Open Court Publishing Co ,U.S., Chicago, IL], Paperback. One of the great tasks of Mortimer Adlers illustrious life was his search for a watertight proof of the existence of God. Adler believed that his search had been successful.Adler spent years studying the classic proofs of Gods existence, especially Aquinass Five Ways, and found shortcomings in all of them, as conventionally understood. But he thought that some of them contained ideas which, if properly developed, could be improved, and he continued to search for a satisfying and logically unassailable proof. Toward the end of the 1970s, he believed he had arrived at such a proof, which he presented in his historic work, How to Think about God (1980). In the writings assembled in How to Prove There Is a God, Adler gives us his approach to the question of Gods existence in fresh and popular form. He defends his position against critics, both believers and skeptics. The book includes a transcript of one of Adlers appearances on William Buckleys Firing Line, Adlers revealing interview with Edward Wakin, the exchange of views on natural theology between Adler and Owen Gingerich, and John Cramers eloquent argument that the trend of modern cosmology supports Adlers early struggles with the question of God's existence. Explains why reason shows there must be a God. This title contains articles from different stages of the author's philosophical career, with pieces from 1943 to 1981 showing him defending his position against critics and struggling to improve it by correcting his earlier errors.
