Readers witness a contemporary version of a classic debate, as two professional philosophers seek to learn from each other while making their cases for their distinct positions. In their dialogue, Joshua Rasmussen and Felipe Leon examine classical and cutting-edge arguments for and against a theistic explanation of general features of reality. The book also provides original lines of thought based on the authors' own contributions to the field, and offers a productive and innovative inquiry into on one of the biggest questions people ask: what is the ultimate explanation of things? 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion 606 $aMetaphysics 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 24$aMetaphysics. 676 $a200.1 676 $a110 700 $aRasmussen$b Joshua$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990528 702 $aLeon$b Felipe$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349557703321 996 $aIs God the Best Explanation of Things$92266024 997 $aUNINA
