It argues that, since the versions of the .kalām. cosmological argument defended by Philoponus (c. 490–c. 570), al-Ghazālī (1058– 1111), and the contemporary philosopher, William Lane Craig, all deny the possibility of the existence of an actual infinite, these arguments are incompatible with Platonism and the view that God foreknows an endless future. This conclusion, however, is not a problem for the proponents of the .kalām. cosmological argument, for the book shows how the argument can be defended without denying the possibility of the actual infinite.. .In order to offer a comprehensive analysis of Philoponus and al-Ghazālī’s cosmological arguments, the book draws on recent English translations of some of their works. Next, the book advances a detailed argument against the popular argument based on the impossibility of an actual infinite. Finally, the book offers a unique defence of the .kalām. cosmological argument by defending philosophical arguments for a beginning of time | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Actual and Potential Infinite; Al-Ghazali’s Cosmological Argument; Cosmological Argument; Cosmology and | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-73438-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-89248-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-73438-5Series ISSN 2211-1107 Series E-ISSN 2211-1115 | issn_series | 2211-1107 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2018 |
