Book Description:
|
There is a long tradition of discussion in the philosophy of religion about the problems and possibilities involved in talking about God. There have also arisen in recent years significant developments in our understanding of the logic of reference itself. In this volume, philosophers from Britain, Israel and the US bring these interpretive techniques together and present important accounts of the problem of referring to God within Christian, Jewish and Islamic philosophy.
