The Unknown God

Kenny, an atheist, has never been able to let go of God and he continues to struggle with the intellectual problems of theism and the possibility of believing in God. In this title Kenny revisits the Five Ways of Aquinas and argues that they are not so much proofs as definitions of God.

"With lucid writing and careful examination of past arguments for the existence of God, Kenny succeeds in presenting agnosticism not as an indecisive idea but a deeply philosophical belief system that combines rationality and humility. Highly recommended for larger public academic libraries that have existing collections on the philosophy of religion." -Library Journal, August 2005

Klappentext
Kenny, a philosopher by profession, struggles with the intellectual problems of theism and the possibility of believing in god, especially in an intellectual climate dominated by Logical Positivism.

Here he revisits the Five Ways of Aquinas and argues that they are not so much proofs as definitions of God. He is also in constant dialogue with Wittgenstein for, Kenny writes, no man in recent years has surpassed him in devotion of sharp intelligence to the demarcation of the boundary between sense and nonsense.
