Alvin Plantinga

Alvin Plantinga is a renowned contemporary philosopher known for his work in metaphysics and the philosophy of religion. His best known accomplishments include:

• His work on the modal ontological argument which, thanks also to Norman Malcolm and Charles Hartshorne, enjoyed a rebirth of interest in the 20th century.
• His "free will defense" response to J.L. Mackie's logical argument from evil.
• His "reformed epistemology" attacks on foundationalism.

He teaches at the University of Notre Dame, despite being non-Catholic.
