Personal Identity
Christian Materialism

Plug Note1
- Introduction
Further Remarks
- This Note will focus on those philosophers who profess both some form of Christianity and some form of materialism15, though it also lists those other philosophers associated in one way or another with the philosophy of Personal Identity who have professed Christian faith.
- I will focus on those philosophers who are still living or who were active in the latter quarter of the 20th century and / or thereafter, during which period it has been relatively unusual for a philosopher to openly espouse theism.
- A useful source of contemporary theists ought to be "Bourget (David) & Chalmers (David) - The PhilPapers Surveys: What Do Philosophers Believe?", though there were virtually none that I recognised.
- "Plantinga (Alvin) - Twenty Years Worth of the SCP" claimed that there were 1,000 members of the Society of Christian Philosophers (in 1998).
- This Note – or those related to it – may become more important in due course, as it might be an alternative focus for my Thesis.
- This Note consists mostly of lists!
- In the list of philosophers, I’ve included in the third category all the significant living philosophers I know of with Christian affiliation.
- However, in the list of works, I’ve focussed on those explicitly to do with my topic of personal identity, so many Christian philosophers don’t feature.
List of Other Christian Philosophers
Comments
Lynne Rudder Baker: Works by, or about, Lynne Rudder Baker are mostly covered in my Note on Baker18. A selection appears below.
Kevin Corcoran is very much a supporter of Lynne Rudder Baker.
David Hershenov: most of his papers are relevant, but are not explicitly listed below.
E.J. Lowe: I’m not sure how committed (if at all) Lowe was to Christianity, nor how important he was as a philosopher (he died in 2014). He did once argue for the modal ontological argument against Oppy, but in "Bourget (David) & Chalmers (David) - The PhilPapers Surveys: What Do Philosophers Believe?" he’s only down as “leaning towards” theism. The TLS Obituary (Times Higher Education: Jonathan Lowe - Obituary) described him as “one of the leading philosophers of his generation” but made no mention of any religious faith. See his Durham page: Durham University: Professor E. J. Lowe (Defunct). The list of works below may therefore be too much.
Nancey Murphy is only the (co-)editor of two of the books listed below, and many / most of the contributors will have Christian affiliation of some sort (probably Catholic). However, I have not listed the other contributors / editors directly unless they are otherwise well-known (to me). I have, however, listed Murphy’s contributions to the edited collections.
Alvin Plantinga: The list of relevant works is to be completed once I’ve gone through Alvin Plantinga: Works (maintained by Andrew Bailey).
Peter Van Inwagen: There are so many potentially-relevant papers by Van Inwagen that I’ve had to decide whether to list them all or only some … “All” is more useful, without repeating those in Van Inwagen’s books listed – except from anthologies edited by Van Inwagen.

- Not withstanding whatever I might have said above, the reading lists below ought to be restricted to works related to what we are20 or to life after death21 (or at least supportive of the authors’ positions on these themes).

In-Page Footnotes:
Footnote 16: To be checked & corrected in due course.
Footnote 17:
- I could probably make a guess at the “materialistic” affiliation of these philosophers – in that the default position is dualistic – but will wait until I’ve looked at their work.
Footnote 26: Footnote 29: Footnote 30:
- I’ve not bought the book as it is too expensive!
