Philosophy of Religion, Physics, and Psychology: Essays in Honor of Adolf Grunbaum
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
On October 18-19, 2002, the Center for Philosophical Education at Santa Barbara City College hosted a symposium honoring Professor Adolf Grünbaum's contributions to contemporary philosophy. This work, an outgrowth of that symposium, contains contributions by leading philosophers on the vast influence of Adolf Grünbaum on philosophy of religion and philosophy of science. The symposium participants have either significantly reworked their original lectures or written entirely new articles for publication. A reprint of Grünbaum's "The Poverty of Theistic Cosmology" further enriches the book.
A highlight of this volume is an extended "Autobiographical-Philosophical Narrative" in which Grünbaum traces his intellectual journey, beginning with a poignant account of his early experiences with anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany and his initial queries about religious belief, continuing through the major milestones of his career, and concluding with his current interests.
Besides Grünbaum, the contributors include Quentin Smith, Nancy Murphy, Bas C. van Fraassen, Michael Tooley, Steven Humphrey, Nancy Cartwright, and Edward Erwin.
