Can human beings be free and responsible if there is an all-powerful God? Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) offers viable answers to questions which have plagued religious people for at least two thousand years. Katherin Rogers examines Anselm's reconciliation of human free will and divine omnipotence in the context of current philosophical debates.

The Experimental Approach to Free Will

Freedom in the Laboratory

By: Katherin A Rogers

Recently, psychologists and neurobiologists have conducted experiments taken to show that human beings do not have free will. Many, including a number of philosophers, assume that, even if science has not decided the free will question yet, it is just a matter of time. In The Experimental Approach to Free Will, Katherin A. Rogers accomplishes several tasks. First, canvasing the literature critical of these recent experiments (or of conclusions drawn from them) and adding new criticisms of her own, she shows why these experiments should not undermine belief in human freedom – even robust, libertarian freedom. Indeed, many of the experiments do not even connect with any philosophical understanding of free will. Through this discussion, she generates a long list of problems – ethical as well as practical – facing the attempt to study free will experimentally. With these problems highlighted, she shows that even in the distant future, supposing the brain sciences to have advanced far beyond where they are today, it will likely be impossible to settle the question of free will experimentally. She concludes that, since philosophy has not, and science cannot, settle the question of free will, it is more reasonable to suppose that humans do indeed have freedom. Brings together, and adds to, criticisms of recent experiments (or conclusions drawn from them) which supposedly show that human beings do not have free will Analyzes recent experiments supposedly related to human freedom through the lens of a philosophically informed portrait of a robust, libertarian free choice Develops a long list of problems – both practical and ethical – facing the experimental study of human freedom Proposes a thought experiment set in a distant future of advanced brain science to show that it is likely impossible for science ever to settle the question of free will.

Perfect Being Theology

By: Katherin A Rogers

That being than which a greater cannot be conceived.' This was the way in which the living God of biblical tradition was described by the great Medieval philosophers such as Augustine, Anselm and Aquinas.Contemporary philosophers find much to question, criticise and reject in the traditional analysis of that description. Some hold that the attributes traditionally ascribed to God - simplicity, necessity, immutability, eternity, omniscience, omnipotence, creativity and goodness - are inherently incoherent individually, or mutually inconsistent. Others argue that the divinity described by philosophers cannot be the same as the providential God of revelation.In Perfect Being Theology Katherin A. Rogers defends the traditional approach, considering contemporary criticisms but concluding that the most adequate account of the nature of God should build upon the foundation laid by the Medieval philosophers.Written in a lively and accessible style and offering an important historical perspective, this book covers key areas of contention and many of the major ideas and thinkers from all sides of the debate are included.

Ready, Aim, Captivate! brings together experts, entrepreneurs and authorities on how to take your individual message and use it to reach out to others, change lives and captivate hearts. They have started successful companies, written best-selling books and championed multimillion dollar events, but still-at their core-they are just like you. They were once someone in a bookstore reading the introduction to a book they hoped would teach them how to get where they wanted to go. They had to learn-some of them, the hard way-how to balance success at work while maintaining happiness at home. You are not alone. Each of us has a message to share with the world. Some people were born with obvious gifts such as an ability to sing, dance, play an instrument or professional sport, or lead businesses, schools and churches to growth and success. Others have known since they were children that they wanted to be a firefighter, a cook, a teacher or nurse. You may be thinking, "But what about me? I'm just a regular person with a passion for something but I have no idea how to put it to work to help anyone." Sit down and be inspired by this collection of interviews. Listen to each con-tributor as they speak of their stories of hardship and frustration, and how they came to claiming a life that abounds in purpose and passion; a life that lets them share their incredible message with the world. Allow them to remind you that wherever you are right now is the perfect place to start moving toward the goal of a fulfilled life so that others can begin to be changed by your unique message. Embark on a journey in the coming pages that will help you identify your gift, explore your talents and teach you to touch lives with your passion and your purpose. Allow them to show you what it takes to make your message magical. Ready, Aim, Captivate! is a priceless resource. Such an amazing group of trusted professionals has come together in this book with one common purpose. Prepare to be captivated!
