Professor Bartley's Theory of Rationality and Religious Belief
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
In The Retreat to Commitment (London, 1964), Professor W. W. Bartley III argues for a certain theory of rationality and contends that by this criterion it is not possible for a christian theist to be rational. His theory of rationality has already aroused considerable criticism, but his application of it to religious belief in particular, has not hitherto been widely considered.
