Philosophy Now Magazine October/November 2022 Edizione posteriore

Our main theme in Issue 152 is ‘God and the Philosophers’. We revisit one of the classic ‘proofs’ of God. We’ve an article advocating agnosticism; one on Kierkegaard’s Theological Self and another on Deism, the belief in a non-personal God. One contributor claims that several famous arguments by major philosophers were anticipated by medieval theologians centuries before. Plus, read how some Russian philosophers in the 1930s tried to convince Stalin that Spinoza was an atheist. (It didn’t end well).

Also in this issue, a special section on the nature of time; a brief life of Michel Foucault; and a review of Sartre’s “Existentialism is a Humanism”. Sean Moran lambasts sellers of snake oil (philosophical or otherwise) and Ray Tallis insists that talk of ‘artificial intelligence’ is neither intelligent nor intelligible.
