C.S. Lewis's dangerous idea
Book • 2003
Victor Reppert's 'C. S.
Lewis's Dangerous Idea' reconstructs and defends Lewis's argument from reason, contending that naturalism cannot account for the reliability of human rationality.
Reppert provides formal and philosophical analysis to show how belief in naturalism is self-defeating if our cognitive faculties are aimed at survival rather than truth.
The book engages contemporary debate in philosophy of mind and religion, drawing on examples and counterarguments to strengthen Lewis's original claim.
It argues for the reasonableness of theism as a grounding for rational inference and logical truth.
Reppert's work has been influential among philosophers interested in epistemology, evolution, and theism.
