Summary

In Consciousness and the Existence of God , JP Moreland argues that the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness (or its regular, law-like correlation with physical states) provides evidence for the existence of God. Considering Searle's contingent correlation, O'Connor's emergent necessitation, and Nagel's mysterian "naturalism," Moreland concludes that these versions of naturalism should be rejected in favor of what he calls "the Argument from Consciousness."

Author Biography

He has authored, edited or contributed to thirty-five books including Universals (McGill-Queen's), Naturalism: A Critical Analysis (Routledge) and Does God Exist? (Prometheus).
