BIBLIOGRAPHY
Careful examination of selected Greek texts is provided
in G. S. Kirk
and J. E. Raven, The Presocratic Philosophers
(Cambridge, 1957), which also offers an excellent bibliogra-
phy and useful indexes. Various translations of
Plato, Aris-
totle, and Saint Thomas are
readily available. A good trans-
lation
of Nicholas Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium
caelestium (1543), Book I, is found in Occasional Notes of
the Royal Astronomical Society (London,
1947), Vol. 2, No.
10, by J. F. Dobson and S. Brodetsky. David Hume's
Dia-
logues
Concerning Natural Religion (originally published
1779) may be
found in a popular edition edited by Henry
David Aiken (New York,
1948). Immanuel Kant's Kritik der
reinen
Vernunft (first ed. 1781) has been well translated by
Max
Müller (second ed. revised, 1927) as well as by Norman
Kemp
Smith, whose more interpretative translation (1929)
reflects Kant's
second edition of 1787. William Paley's
Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attrib-
utes of the Deity collected
from the Appearances of Nature
(London, 1802) is available in
an abridged version edited,
with a critical introduction, by Frederick
Ferré (Indianapo-
lis, 1963).
Modern works relevant to the support of the design
argument include F.
R. Tennant, Philosophical Theology,
Vol. II: The World, The Soul, and God (Cambridge, 1930);
Charles Hartshorne, Man's Vision of God (New York,
1941);
P. Lecomte du Noüy, Human
Destiny (New York, 1947);
Peter A. Bertocci, Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion
(New York, 1951),
especially Chs. XXI-XV; and P. Teilhard de
Chardin, Le Phénomène humain (Paris, 1955),
translated by
Bernard Wall as The Phenomenon of
Man (New York, 1959).
Some recent works relevant to the attack on the argument
include G. G.
Simpson, The Meaning of Evolution (New
Haven,
1949); C. J. Ducasse, A Philosophical Scrutiny of
Religion (New York, 1953), Ch. XV; John Hospers, An Intro-
duction to Philosophical
Analysis (New York, 1953), Ch. V;
and Michael Scriven, Primary Philosophy (New York, 1966),
Ch. IV.
