Detalles del libro

"In the first study of its kind, Agents Under Fire defends a robust notion of agency and intentionality against eliminative and naturalistic alternatives, showing the interconnections between the philosophy of mind, theology, and intelligent design. Angus Menuge argues that Behe's irreducible complexity challenges reductionism not only in biology, but also in psychology, and shows the inability of the Darwinian psychology proposed by Dawkins, Dennett, and Pinker to explain the integration, unity, direction, and reliability of rational thought." This defense against scientific materialism is the only book-length study relating intelligent design to contemporary issues in the philosophy of mind. Drawing on his experience as both philosopher and computer scientist, Menuge shows the reader that the materialist's attempts to rid science of all commitment to teleology can only result in incoherence: instead Menuge presents his own unique argument for the legitimacy of intelligent design.
