FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Classical Theism and Cognitive Science of Religion: A Synthesis” by Prof. Tyler Dalton McNabb, University of Saint Joseph, Macao
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Classical Theism and Cognitive Science of Religion: A Synthesis” by Prof. Tyler Dalton McNabb, University of Saint Joseph, Macao
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95398896954 Abstract Lari Launonen and R.T. Mullins (2021) argue that if Classical Theism is true, human cognition is likely not theism-tracking, at least, given what we know from the field of cognitive science of religion. In this talk, we will develop a model for how classical theists can make sense of the findings from cognitive science, without abandoning their classical theist commitments. We will also provide an argument for how our model aligns well with the Christian doctrine of general revelation.
