Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. What must reality be like if the God of Abrahamic theism exists? How could the worldview of Abrahamic theism be understood if not in terms of the existence of a supremely powerful, knowledgeable, and good personal being? John Bishop and Ken Perszyk argue that it is reasonable to reject what many analytic philosophers take to be the standard conception of God as the 'personal omniGod'. They argue that a version of a 'logical' Argument from Evil is still very much inplay, contrary to the widely held view that this line of argument is bankrupt.This book provides a new presentation and defence of the alternative that Bishop and Perszyk havecalled euteleology. Its core claims are that reality is inherently purposive, and that the Universe exists ultimately because its overall end (telos), which is the supreme good, is made concretely real within it. There is no supreme agent ('standing by' while horrors take place); God is 'no-thing' in euteleology's basic ontology. Rather, talk of God-as-a-personal-being is a cognitive construction, treating ultimate reality by analogy with our ordinary ways of experiencing and talking about theworld.But euteleological theism is also emphatically realist. Analogizing God-talk enables humans to align themselves with reality and is aptly deployed in prayer andworship-practices whose broad function is a human contribution to, and enjoyment of, the fulfilment of reality's inherent ultimate purpose. John Bishop and Ken Perszyk argue that it is reasonable to reject the standard conception of a personal 'omniGod'. They present an alternative view, 'euteleology': reality is inherently purposive, and the universe exists ultimately because its overall end, which is the supreme good, is made concretely real within it.
