The Unknown God: Agnostic Essays (Continuum Compact Series) - Softcover

In this new book Kenny has collected lectures and papers he has produced over the past 20 years. Church of England Newspaper, Paul Richardson, 11th February 2005

Kenny, a philosopher by profession, struggles with the intellectual problems of theism and the possibility of believing in god, especially in an intellectual climate dominated by Logical Positivism.

Here he revisits the Five Ways of Aquinas and argues that they are not so much proofs as definitions of God. He is also in constant dialogue with Wittgenstein for, Kenny writes, no man in recent years has surpassed him in devotion of sharp intelligence to the demarcation of the boundary between sense and nonsense.
