taking into account analytical, continental, ancient, post-modern and modern thinkers, Insole presents a robust defence of a realist construal of spiritual discourse. Insole argues that anti-realism has a tendency in the direction of absolutism and hubris. the place fact is exhausted via our ideals approximately fact, there's no conceptual house for doubting these ideals; just a belief of fact as absolute, given and obtainable can warrantly the very humility, experience of fallibility and sensitivity to distinction that the anti-realist rightly values. slicing via many of the drained and well-rehearsed debates during this quarter, Insole presents a clean standpoint on ways motivated by means of Wittgenstein, Kant, and apophatic theology. The defence of realism provided is rare in being either analytically special, and theologically delicate, with a purpose to the various wider and not more well-explored cultural, moral and political implications of the debate.
