Title: Turgid, tendentious, and circular. Not very useful.
Review: hypothesis (n.) -- a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences.Until you can pose an experimentally testable hypothesis and test it on observable phenomena, all the armchair logic in the world won't help you separate useful ideas about the physical world from non-useful ideas. This book tries to sweep away four centuries of useful application of this principle, and fails. Philosophy without physically testable hypotheses is just dinner conversation using big words. In this book, J. P. Moreland uses lots of big words to express his opinions, but that's about it. In three readings, I have yet to catch him posing a hypothesis that can be physically tested.
