Book Review
The book under review is a festschrift, dedicated to Herman Philipse and published on the occasion of his valedictory lecture. Throughout his career, Philipse has been a vocal critic of, among other things, natural theology. One of his objections to theology is that it lacks credible methods and arguments of its own and should be refuted by scientific standards. This negative attitude towards natural religion motivates the main question of this book: what is the status of philosophy in the age of science?
