The passing of two eminent philosophers of religion
Antony Flew (1923-2010)
Jordan Howard Sobel (1929-2010)
Two leading figures in the philosophy of religion recently died:
Jordan Howard Sobel
and
Antony Flew
.
Here are some reminiscences about Flew by colleagues and students
, and
here are some more by Michael Ruse
.
I first heard of Professor Sobel in connection with the ontological argument. He was one of the first people
to write about Kurt Godel's version of that proof
.
A memorial service for Professor Sobel will be held in Toronto on April 25
.
