THE “FALLING ELEVATOR” AND RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD
EUROPEAN JOURNAL FOR PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION. 2021. Vol. 13. No. 1. P. 83–102.
Gasparov I.
In the paper I argue that the falling elevator model once proposed by Dean Zimmerman to improve some drawbacks of Peter van Inwagen’s account of how a belief in Christian resurrection could be made compatible with a materialist understanding of human persons is not satisfactory. Christian resurrection requires not only survival, but also true death of a person, while the falling elevator can merely provide us with an account of how a material person is able miraculously to escape her own death.

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

We use interfaces to disconnect from the situation around us, from the persistent experience of the outside world, from our neighbors. It is this ability of interfaces to legitimize “absence” that is usually overlooked in their analysis, as the emphasis is on concentration, management, and control. In reality, interfaces are not so much pragmatic and ...

One of the main objections to the existence of God is the so-called argument from evil.
