Title: Dangerous Indeed
Review: C.S Lewis's dangerous idea is that if naturalism is true, it would undercut the idea that our reasoning and belief forming process should be reliable, but our belief forming process is reliable. Ergo we should reject naturalism.This is similar to, but definitely not identical to Plantinga's famous EAAN. Reppert doesn't rely on evolution but more on the basic characteristics of our universe given naturalism, and how those characteristics should be expected to interfact with the way beliefs relate to each other.A novel argument and one that naturalists would do well to carefully consider.Another highlight is the background historical discussion on CS Lewis himself and Reppert's arguments in favour of one understanding of the relationship between religious belief and reason- namely, Critical Rationalism.
