Product details
"The Kalam Cosmological Argument: A Reassessment" offers an in-depth analysis of the kalam cosmological argument and its defense. The author, Jacobus Erasmus, critically examines three significant versions of the argument as presented by Philoponus, al-Ghazali, and William Lane Craig. A central theme of the book is the rejection of the possibility of an actual infinite, which leads to tensions with Platonic views and the concept of God's foreknowledge of an endless future. Nevertheless, the book demonstrates that the kalam cosmological argument can be defended even without this rejection. By including current English translations of the works of Philoponus and al-Ghazali, a comprehensive analysis of their arguments is made possible. Additionally, a detailed argument against the widespread assumption of the impossibility of an actual infinite is presented. Finally, a unique defense of the kalam cosmological argument is offered, incorporating philosophical arguments for the beginning of time and evaluating the hypotheses that best explain the discoveries of modern cosmology.
