Sections in this chapter9
- J. L. Mackie, The Miracle of Theism: Arguments for and against the Existence of God: read the introduction with chapter 14(b), then compare the two discussions of evil in chapter 9(a) and 9(f).
- Alvin Plantinga, The Nature of Necessity, chapter IX: the modal free-will defense Mackie disputes.
- Richard Swinburne, “God as the Simplest Explanation of the Universe”: a theistic account of the simplicity and explanatory role at issue.
- J. L. Mackie, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong, chapter 1, sections 1 and 9: background to his rejection of intrinsically prescriptive objective values, a position that should be distinguished from indifference to human welfare.
