The world is unjust, if you accept it, you become an accomplice. If you want to change it, you become an executioner

An Alvin Plantinga philosophy reading list

The OUP Philosophy team congratulates analytic philosopher Alvin Plantinga, recipient of the 2017 Templeton Prize! The prize is awarded annually to “a living person who has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works. Established in 1972 by the late Sir John Templeton, the Prize aims, in his words, to identify "entrepreneurs of the spirit"—outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality.”

Plantinga is the John A. O'Brien Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame, and the inaugural holder of the Jellema Chair in Philosophy at Calvin College.

We have highlighted some of our best resources on Plantinga below, including two chapters from his influential Warrant trilogy, published by OUP in 1993 and 2000.

Guten Abend

Gute Nacht

Die Sonne immer lacht,

wie sie deinen Schlaf bewacht,

dafür sendet sie dir den Mond,

der es mit sanftem Licht betont,

bis die Erde sich wieder sonnt,

wenn der Morgen wieder kommt.

Dein Veit 💖

Good evening Good night, the sun always smiles how she guards your sleep for this, she sends you the moon, who emphasizes it with soft light, until the earth suns itself again, when the morning comes again Yours Veit 💖

Considering how hard marshmallows are to make

without burning them, people probably lived for years thinking that burnt on the outside, raw on the inside marshmallows were the only possibility. Then one patient soul held their mallow two feet above the fire for a half hour until it was perfectly roasted with a shell as golden as a wheat sunset, and a core as molten as warm honey in the afternoon sunlight. From that day on, the bar would be raised, and the maximum potential would be known, but never repeatable.

Would that person be a hero for bringing enlightenment, or a malicious trickster for tempting mortals with perfection they cannot have?

Or, would them be called a fool for standing next to a damn fire for half an hour doing the low-and-slow process on a cylinder of sugar gelatin on a stick that they can’t put down?
