Richard Moran is Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University.
Since Socrates, and through Descartes to the present day, the problems of self-knowledge have been central to philosophy's understanding of itself.

Among this few Aristotle holds not...

Dios existe es el último libro del filósofo Antony Flew, escrito en colaboración con Roy Abraham Varghese.

"Nature" describes the world as we find it, created by God, broken by the fall, exhibiting both stability and change. It is denied in different ways by postmodernists, progressives, evolutionary naturalists, technologists, and transhumanists, but also by Christian fundamentalists and ideologues who fail to recognize the goodness of creation and the possibility...

As far as we know, we are the only animal on the planet that can do that. It is foolish not to use this amazing gift to study the structure and functions of the mind. Science has no way to observe the mind directly, so psychologists have to study the brain and behavior and guess...
