The Plan of This Book

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 1 –15

[In this chapter, I provide some background that will aid the reader in following the argument of this book. This book is philosophical, yet very personal. I will state here some of the personal and professional background for the writing of the book (§1.1) as well as some of the epistemological...

The Problem of Animal Pain

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 16 –35

[The work of this chapter is to state the problem under consideration with some precision (§2.1), and to gain some reasonable clarity in the terms at play (§2.2). I will also address the issue of just how much suffering I take there to be (§2.3).]

The Bayesian Argument from Animal Pain

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 36 –55

[We have been considering the nature of the datum that is the foundation of the problem of animal pain. The first chapter identified the problem as one of a potential failing in comparative confirmation relative to animal suffering. The second chapter defended the possibility and sensibleness of...

Is There Really a Problem?: The Challenge of Neo-Cartesianism

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 56 –76

[The problem of animal pain, as I have formulated it, entails that there are a significant number of animals that suffer in a morally significant way. Though that suffering was defined quite broadly, physical pain has for most constituted the crux of animal suffering. But, of course, purely...

There Is a Problem: The Defeat of Neo-Cartesianism

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 77 –95

[In the last chapter, I stated my methodology of endoxa: starting from the assumption that common sense and learned opinion get the benefit of the doubt. Because this is defeasible epistemic support, the support could be lost if there were some reason to think that the endoxa were misguided. The...

The Saint-Making Theodicy I: Negative Phase

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 96 –117

[In this chapter, I will begin to describe a species of soul-making theodicy that I will — after the description is completed — apply to the case of animal suffering. This new species owes much to Hick, Swinburne, Adams, Hasker, and others but extends and elaborates upon the Irenaean idea in a...

The Saint-Making Theodicy II: Positive Phase

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 118 –133

[The last chapter concerned the defeat of evil. Given theism’s capacity to defeat evil from within its value system, evil will not count against God’s existence. For theism is only in tension with indefeasible evil (which is probably a better way to characterize what has been called “gratuitous”...
Available

Animal Saints

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 134 –153

[In the previous two chapters, I presented what I take to be a stronger theodicy than has previously appeared. The key was combining — in a natural and organic way, not just through amalgam — (i) a Hick/ Swinburne(/Hasker) Irenaean theodicy with (ii) a version of Adams’s adaptation of Chisholm’s...

Animal Afterlife

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 154 –178

[For animals to survive death, one of two things must be true. Either animals have non-material souls, as most people, especially religious people, think (though Evangelical Protestantism is a notable exception), or, it seems, it would have to be possible for the existence of a creature to be...

Concluding Summary

Dougherty, Trent

Pages: 179 –182

[For some, this book will have been a long, strange trip. A central, overarching theme has been that so-called “bare theism” isn’t so bare. That is, that a being who is omnipotent and omniscient will also be many other things. That is because the properties of omnipotence and omniscience entail a...
