Plantinga-Vegter algorithm takes average polynomial time [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, 2019
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

open access: yesHandbuch Analytische Religionsphilosophie, 2019
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

DEFENDING DESIGN ARGUMENTS AGAINST PLANTINGA

open access: yesPhilosophia Reformata, 2014
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

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2014
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 ...

The ‘Diderot Objection’ to Plantinga's Reformed Epistemology

open access: yesReligious Studies: An International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion, 2023
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 ...

Simple is as simple does: Plantinga and Ghazālī on divine simplicity

open access: yesReligious Studies: An International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion, 2022
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.
