| Analytic Theism, Hartshorne, and the Concept of God | | Author: | Daniel A. Dombrowski | ISBN: | 0791430995 | Format: | Handover | Publish Date: | June, 2005 | | | | | | | | | Book Review | | | Analytic Theism, Hartshorne, and the Concept of God FROM THE PUBLISHER This book initiates a dialogue where one does not exist, and continues a dialogue where one has been tentatively initiated, regarding the concept of God in the neoclassical philosophy of Charles Hartshorne and that found in analytic philosophers who adhere to classical theism. Two distinctive features of the book are a careful examination of Hartshorne's use of position matrices in the philosophy of religion so as to avoid a myopic view of the theoretical options open to us, and an extended treatment of the largely uncritical appropriation by analytic theists of the Aristotelian tradition in theology, a tradition that relies on a certain form of Platonism not necessarily held by Plato.
