Corlett, Angelo

Angelo Corlett (b. 1958) is an American philosopher who has contributed to discussions on the rationality of religious belief and critiques of atheism. His work "The Errors of Atheism" presents a philosophical challenge to atheistic positions by examining what he argues are fundamental logical and epistemological problems within atheistic arguments. Corlett's approach combines analytic philosophy with careful attention to the structure of theistic and atheistic reasoning. He contends that many contemporary atheistic arguments rest on questionable assumptions about the nature of evidence, rationality, and religious experience. His work engages with both classical and contemporary debates in philosophy of religion, offering defenses of theistic belief that draw on modal logic and epistemology. Corlett's contributions represent part of the broader philosophical literature that seeks to demonstrate the rational defensibility of theistic belief against atheistic challenges.
