About the work
Given the fact that that almost six philosophers are firm atheists for each one who is a firm theist, the author poses the following rhetorical questions: a) Is the existence of God still an interesting subject for philosophy? b) Is it consistent for a follower of philosophy to declare his certainty concerning the existence of God? c) Could the atheistic philosopher justifiably proclaim the end of the metaphysical pretensions of every religion? and , d) What precautions should one take to not undervalue the views that are opposite to one’s own? The validity of theist and atheist knowledge-claims is then analyzed and an answer is proposed to the initial questions.
