Philosophy of Action and Philosophy of Religion
The world's major monotheistic religions typically maintain that God freely chose, in the libertarian sense, to create the universe for a reason or purpose. Philosophers of religion often argue that the idea that God makes a free choice to create for a purpose is deeply flawed. In parallel with these philosophers of religion, philosophers of action typically argue that the idea that human beings make free choices to act for purposes is also flawe…
Libertarian Choice
In this paper, I develop a noncausal view of agency.I defend the thesis that choices are uncaused mental actions and maintain, contrary to causal theorists of action, that choices differ intrinsically or inherently from nonactions.I explain how they do by placing them in an ontology favored by causal agency theorists (agent-causationists).This ontology is one of powers and liabilities.After explicating how a choice is an uncaused event, T explain…
A Noncausal Theory of Agency
In this paper, I assume the plausibility of agency theory or libertarianism and develop a noncausal theory of agency. For the most part, agency theorists have been causal theorists of action.

Causal agency theorists hold that actions are events which at some point are caused by agents, as opposed to …
Belief in God is not properly basic

However, in our own day, there are those who maintain that natural theology in any form is not necessary. This is because of the rise of a different understanding of the nature of religious belief. Unlike what …
