Are They Compatible?
Daniel C. Dennett, Tufts University, and Alvin
Plantinga, University of Notre Dame
One of the most heated debates of our time is about whether science and religion are compatible or in confl ict. Science and Religion: Are They Compatible? is a brief book based on an actual debate presented by renowned philosophers Daniel Dennett and Alvin Plantinga at the
American Philosophical Association conference in 2009. The format of the book is a basic dialogue through essays between the two scholars; it opens with Plantinga’s argument that Christianity is compatible with evolution. Next, Dennett argues that they are incompatible, followed by a reply from Plantinga and a fi nal reply from Dennett. The conclusion contains joint responses from both sides of the argument.

Richard Swinburne argues compellingly that if there is a God, then the main doctrines which the Christian Church teaches about God are very probably true. In particular, he shows that there is strong philosophical support for the belief that Jesus, while remaining God, acquired a human nature and lived on earth for thirty years as a human being.

Voltaire
Translated by John Fletcher,
University of Kent, with introduction and notes by Nicholas
Cronk, University of Oxford
Voltaire’s Pocket Philosophical Dictionary is a major work of the European Enlightenment. It consists of a series of short essays, arranged alphabetically, whose unifying thread is an attack on religious and political intolerance. Highly entertaining, its concern with intolerance and its consequences is still relevant today.

Reveries of the Solitary Walker is
Rousseau’s last great work, the enduring testimony of an alienated person seeking self-knowledge. As he records his walks round Paris, he fi nds happiness in solitude and nature. The new translation includes an introduction and notes that explore the work and its contexts.
