Analysis of Existing

Miller's metaphysics including his approach to God is broad deep and original with the potential to make a fruitful contribution to contemporary philosophy. Yet it has not received the critical attention it deserves. <br/><br/>Miller's work deserves critical attention because of its thorough and original defense of three highly controversial positions: that existence is a real property of concrete individuals; that it is possible to prove without assuming any principle of sufficient reason that there is an uncaused cause of the universe; and that the uncaused cause is the simple God of classical theism. Miller's position on existence is an important alternative in current analytical philosophy to what Miller calls the Frege-Russell-Quine theory and the neo-Meinongian positions of Terence Parsons and Ed Zalta. Miller's argument for an uncaused cause of the universe has been described one of the most ambitious theistic arguments produced by a well-respected contemporary analytic philosopher. <i>Analysis of Existing: Barry Miller's Approach to God</i> is the first clear systematic interpretation of Miller's theistic philosophy.
