"Steven Cahn's Philosophical Debates exemplifies dialectical savvy and clear intellectual vision. Cahn allows the various sides of issues to develop, and he has sharp and insightful targets for argument. This is a model for philosophical exchange and the development of views." --Scott Aikin, associate professor of philosophy, Vanderbilt University, and author of Epistemology and the Regress Problem "This collection of essays engages questions we all ask: Can we bend the future to our will? Is the existence of God compatible with the horrors we witness? Can the immoral still be happy? Weaving together excerpts from seminal pieces with his own work, Cahn offers readers an accessible but penetrating tour of the answers we might give." --Andrew T. Forcehimes, associate professor of philosophy, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
