Daniel Dennett and Richard Swinburne debate the issues surrounding Dennet’s recent book, Breaking the Spell (via Bill Vallicella). I’d like to echo Alan Rhoda’s note regarding the article’s subtitle: “A philosopher and a theologian debate the correct approach to the study of religion.” Swinburne is indeed a theologian but, given the context, it’s misleading. He is a leading academic philosopher of religion and philosopher of science.
