"Smart and Haldane are both remarkable philosophers. Each in hisown way possesses the rare combination of formidable dialecticalskills, an original vision for philosophy, and immense personalintegrity ... I do not see how anyone could read this book and notfeel that it represents the finest kind of intellectual encounter..."Hilary Putnam, Harvard University "Philosophers of both theistic and atheistic persuasions willfind this important new debate on theism particularly interestingfor themselves and for their students. Haldane an Smart show thatthe dispute over the existence of God is very much alive among thebest philosophers at the end of the twentieth century." LindaZagzebski, University of Oklahoma "This book show contemporary academic philosophy at its best."Scientific and Medical Network Review
