Part I develops a relativistic account of argument cogency that allows for rational disagreement. Part II offers a comprehensive and rigorous account of argument diagramming.Book DescriptionIn this

This book provides a comprehensive, critical study of the oldest and most famous argument for the existence of God: the Cosmological Argument.

In a new Preface, the author offers some updates on his own thinking as well as that of others who have grappled with this topic.
