Neo-Cartesianism and the Problem of Animal Suffering
Faith and Philosophy 23 (2):169-190 (2006)
| Abstract | The existence and extent of animal suffering provides grounds for a serious evidential challenge to theism. In the wake of the Darwinian revolution, this strain of natural atheology has taken on substantially greater significance. In this essay we argue that there are at least four neo-Cartesian views on the nature of animal minds which would serve to deflect this evidential challenge. | |||||||||
