KANITIN GÖTÜRDÜĞÜ YERİ TAKİP EDEN BİR FİLOZOF: ANTONY FLEW’UN ATEİZM’DEN VAZGEÇİŞİ ÜZERİNE

Year 2014, Issue: 60, 157 - 178, 15.12.2014

Abstract

20. yüzyılın en etkili ateistlerinden biri olan ünlü İngiliz felsefeci
Antony Flew’un Tanrı inancı konusundaki düşüncelerini değiştirmesi
felsefe dünyasında ilgiyle karşılandı. 17. yüzyıldan 20. yüzyılın başlarına
kadar ateist düşünürler, genelde, bilimi dinin karşısında konumlandırmayı
temel hareket noktası olarak benimsediler. Ancak 20. yüzyılda, modern
bilimin sunduğu verilerden hareketle bir Tanrı’nın var olması gerektiğini
felsefi argümanlarla savunan etkili felsefecilere tanık olundu. Bu felsefeciler
kozmolojik delil ve tasarım delili gibi teizmin ünlü argümanlarını,
yeni bilimsel verilerin ışığında yepyeni bir felsefi formatta sundular. Bu
makalede, hem bahsedilen olgu açısından ön plana çıkan bir isim olan hem
de ateizmin en etkili ismi olarak gösterilirken Tanrı inancını benimseyen
Flew’un yaşadığı dönüşüm ve bunun için ileri sürdüğü gerekçeler incelenecektir.

A PHİLOSOPHER WHO FOLLOWS THE PATH WHERE THE EVİDENCE LEADS: ON ANTHONY FLEW’S RENUNCİATİON OF ATHEİSM

Abstract

It was quite surprising when famous British philosopher Anthony
Flew who is one of the most prominent atheists of the 20th century declared
that he changed his views on the existence of God. From the 17th
century until the beginning of the 20th century, atheist philosophers generally
accepted that religion and science was opposing each other. But by
the 20th century, we witnessed influential philosophers who supported the
existence of God with the help of the scientific discoveries. These philosophers
presented the well-known theist arguments such as cosmological
argument and design argument in a new format in the light of scientific
discoveries. In this article, we will focus on how Flew who is an important
figure for the facts mentioned above and also a very influential atheist accepted
the existence of God referring to these arguments and the phenomena
related to his transformation.
