Loading... C. S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea: In Defense of the Argument from Reason (edition 2009)by Victor Reppert (Author) gottfried_leibniz | Apr 5, 2018 |   One thing which struck was the different types of explanations given by Anscombe 1) Naturalistic causal explanation 2) Logical explanation 3) Psychological explanation 4) Personal history of explanation, where a person describes how he came to such and such beliefs Anscombe explains that if a person has reasons, if they are good reasons and they are genuine, then his thought is rational. A man might die from a heart attack, a naturalistic explanation would be because of less exercise, blockage in his heart value, meanwhile a person might also explain it as a cause of voodoo curse. This piqued my interest in Wittgenstein. Overall, I do think he defends the Argument from Reason, you might bump into Philosophy of Mind & Science.
