Peter van Inwagen on the Mystery of Existence: Why does the universe support rational life? Part Two
Показать описание
Peter van Inwagen addresses the question of why there is a universe that can support rational beings like us. In Part Two, I address three more objections to the conclusion that God created the universe intentionally so that beings like us could exist in it. Van Inwagen concedes that the argument is not convincing, but qualifies that concession in important ways. Note:
There is a reference to Nagel in the video. The passage is from Thomas Nagel's work, The Last Word (OUP, 1997) p. 130.
