Description

Author: Anthony Flew

Antony Flew is a renowned philosopher who was arguably the best-known atheist in the English-speaking world until his announcement in 2004 that he accepted the existence of God. The son of a Methodist minister, Flew often attended the weekly meetings of C. S. Lewis’s Socratic Club as an undergraduate at Oxford, but was not convinced by Lewis’s argument from morality that a God exists. In 1950, Flew set the agenda for modern atheism with his renowned essay “Theology and Falsification,” which became the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last half century. Flew has published over thirty books, including God and Philosophy, The Presumption of Atheism, and How to Think Straight. He spent twenty years as professor of philosophy at the University of Keele and has also held positions at Oxford, the University of Aberdeen, and the University of Reading. He died in 2010.
