The Department is pleased to announce that Matthew Satcher--a
double major in REL and Philosophy,
won the Alabama
Philosophical Society's 2004 Student Essay Competition
for his paper entitled "Proper Function Theory, Religious
Exclusivism and the Challenge of Religious Diversity."
|
|
In the paper, Matthew attempts to rebut Alvin
Plantinga's well known defense of religious exclusivism,
as contained in his appropriately titled essay, "A Defense
of Religious Exclusivism." Matthew first tackled Plantinga's
essay with his final project for Dr. Catherine
Roach's REL 344
class, God and Moral Reasoning, in the Fall of 2003.
|
|
Matthew presented his paper at a plenary session of the Alabama
Philosophical Society's annual conference in Mobile on Oct.
29, 2004 (Matt's plenary session can be found listed on their
program).
The Department is pleased to have been able to help Matt travel
to Mobile to participate in this conference.
