Plantinga-Vegter algorithm takes average polynomial time [PDF]
We exhibit a condition-based analysis of the adaptive subdivision algorithm due to Plantinga and Vegter. The first complexity analysis of the PV Algorithm is due to Burr, Gao and Tsigaridas who proved a $O\big(2^{\tau d^{4}\log d}\big)$ worst-case cost ...

Alvin Plantinga is one of the most prominent living metaphysicians and philosophers of religion. In this profile, after having sketched his intellectual training, I shall consider some aspects of his thought: Plantinga's possible worlds theory; his theory of the epistemic warrant of beliefs, which is based on the concept of proper function; Plantinga's

The Real Conflict Between Science and Religion: Alvin Plantinga’s Ignoratio Elenchi [PDF]
By focussing on the logical relations between scientific theories and religious beliefs in his book Where the Conflict Really Lies, Alvin Plantinga overlooks the real conflict between science and religion.

DEFENDING DESIGN ARGUMENTS AGAINST PLANTINGA
This article criticises Alvin Plantinga’s claim that ‘basic’ design beliefs, which arise without a conscious inference, have more positive epistemic status than non-basic ones and that we cannot evaluate the probabilities involved in inferential, inductive design arguments.

Plantinga-Warrant and Reliabilist Warrant
I argue that reliabilist warrant should not require that a true belief have been produced in accordance with a design plan. At least sometimes, it seems sufficient that there be an intent for the faculty to have the reliable outcomes it in fact has ...

O argumento ontológico de plantinga = Plantinga’s ontological argument
Este artigo apresenta o argumento ontológico de Plantinga, nos seus contextos histórico e sistemático. Críticas ao argumento são também apresentadas. As pretensões filosóficas subjacentes à defesa do argumento são descritas como minimalistas, mas nota ...

The ‘Diderot Objection’ to Plantinga's Reformed Epistemology
In response to Pascal's famous wager argument for adopting Christian belief, Denis Diderot noted that ‘An Imam could just as well reason this way’. In this article, I will show how Diderot's observation about Pascal's argument can legitimately be made ...

The Role of Non-Cognitive Factors on Knowledge from the Point of View of Plantinga and Mulla Sadra [PDF]
Plantinga is one of the virtue-oriented philosophers and in epistemology, he has an approach of reliability and extroversion, in virtue-based reliability, the virtue and vice characteristics of the knowing agent, including the characteristics and ...

Simple is as simple does: Plantinga and Ghazālī on divine simplicity
This study considers the notion of divine simplicity, the idea that God is not a composite of more basic features, and the criticisms by al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) and Alvin Plantinga of that doctrine.
