    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo desta tese é apresentar um macroargumento proposto por Alvin Plantinga contra o naturalismo (MCN). O MCN é constituído de: (1) Se um sujeito S é epistemicamente racional e consciente, então S escolhe apenas as crenças verdadeiras ou provavelmente verdadeiras; caso contrário S é irracional. (2) Os argumentos A1, ou A2, ou A3 são sólidos, sendo suas premissas verdadeiras ou provavelmente verdadeiras. (3) Logo, S é racional se crer em A1, ou A2, ou A3. (4) Se S crer em A1, ou A2, ou A3, então S tem um anulador para o naturalismo. (5) Logo, é irracional para S crer no naturalismo. Para sustentar o MCN, vamos utilizar fundamentalmente das argumentações do filósofo americano Alvin Plantinga (1993a, 1993b, 2000 etc.) contra o naturalismo. Os principais argumentos de Plantinga contra o naturalismo podem ser resumidos a três: A1 - Toda definição naturalista fracassa na análise de função apropriada: (P1) Nenhuma das definições puramente naturalistas de função apropriada é ou necessária ou suficiente. (P2) A única análise de função apropriada provavelmente correta é advinda do comprometimento com o teísmo cristão ou algo similar. (C) Logo, as definições puramente naturalistas são provavelmente falsas. A2 - Um sujeito comprometido com o naturalismo e a teoria da evolução (N&E) não pode ter nenhum conhecimento: (P1) Dado um sujeito, S, comprometido com N&E, sua confiabilidade cognitiva R de produzir crenças verdadeiras é provavelmente baixa ou inescrutável. (P2) Se R não é confiável, então as crenças de S são anuladas. (C) Se S tem um anulador para todas as suas crenças, S tem um autoanulador para N&E. A3 # Um cientista cristão não deve estar comprometido com o naturalismo metodológico, uma forma velada de naturalismo ontolontológicos naturalistas na ciência moderna. (P3) A ciência moderna tem uma estratégia de seleção materialista. (P4) O cientista cristão não é irracional em levar em conta suas crenças religiosas como possíveis hipóteses científicas. (P5) Segundo o naturalismo metodológico, é arbitrário defender um único modelo de fazer ciência. (P6) Dadas outras possibilidades de hipóteses, os cientistas cristãos podem optar por hipóteses como mais prováveis do que as dos cientistas não-cristãos. (C) É possível uma ciência fora do domínio do naturalismo metodológico.The aim of this thesis is to present Alvin Plantinga#s macro-argument against naturalism (MCN). MCN is put forward as follows: (1) If a subject S is epistemicaly rational and conscious, then S chooses only true or probably true beliefs; if not S is irrational. (2) The arguments A1 or A2 or A3 are sound. (3) Hence, S is rational if she believes either in A1 or A2 or A3. (4) If S believes in A1 or A2 or A3, then S has one defeater for naturalism. (5) Therefore, it is irrational for S to believe in naturalism. In order to maintain naturalism we will use fundamentally the arguments against naturalism by the American philosopher Alvin Plantinga (1993a, 1993b, 2000 etc.). Plantinga#s main arguments against naturalism can be reduced to three: A1 # every naturalistic, metaphysical definition fails in the analysis of proper function: (P1) no naturalistic definition of proper function is either necessary or sufficient. (P2) The only analysis of proper function probably correct stems from the commitment to Christian theism or something similar. (C) Therefore, pure naturalist definitions are probably false. A2 # A subject committed to naturalism and evolution theory (N&E) cannot have any knowledge: (P1) given a subject, S, committed to N&E, the cognitive reliability R of her producing true beliefs is probably low or inscrutable. (P2) If R is not reliable, then the beliefs of S are defeated. (C) If S has a defeater for all her beliefs, S has a defeater for N&E. A3 # A Christian scientist is not to be committed to methodological naturalism, a disguised form of metaphysical naturalism: (P1) the scientific activity is not neutral. (P2) There are naturalist, metaphysical presuppositions in modern science. (P3) Modern science has a materialistic strategy of selection. (P4) A Christian scientist is not irrational in taking into account her religious beliefs as possible scientific hypotheses. (P5) according to methodological naturalism it is arbitrary to defend a unique model of making science. (P6) Given other possibilities of hypotheses, Christian scientists can choose hypotheses as more probable than those of non Christian scientists. (C) A science independent of methodological naturalism is possible

    ABSTRAK REKONSTRUKSI EPISTEMOLOGI AGAMA DALAM PEMIKIRAN ALVIN PLANTINGA Oleh : Yoan Sabili Amra Penelitian ini berorientasi kepada analisis yang membedah suatu komponen khusus terhadap pemikiran epistemologi Alvin Plantinga dengan dasar yang disebutnya sebagai epistemologi Warrant (jaminan), sehingga dalam bangunan pemikiran epistemologi Plantinga, akan berkolaborasi terhadap struktur bangunan epistemologi agama Alvin Plantinga, dengan demikian terbentuklah sebuah pemikiran secara eksplisit terhadap epistemologi Agama, maka penulis menguraikan secara koherensi bagaimana latar belakang muncul nya rangkaian pemikiran epistemologi Alvin Plantinga, kemudian dalam konteks dari pemikiran agama Plantinga akan menjadi landasan rekonstruksi lebih lanjut mengenai bagaimana sisi relevansi ini bermuara terhadap kajian epistemologi kontemporer dan juga keislaman, sehingga penelitian ini berakar dari pembedahan secara struktur dalam mengaplikasikan pemikiran Plantinga kedalam sebuah variabel epistemologi yang berbasis keyakinan, terlebih khusus tercantum rangkaian kritik tajam dari formula awal atas pendirian pemikiran Alvin Plantinga dalam epistemologi, maupun epistemologi Agama. Metode yang digunakan dalam keberlangsungan penelitian ini penulis menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data dari berupa karya-karya primer dari Alvin Plantinga maupun karya sekunder dari buku-buku yang membahas pemikiran Alvin Plantinga, pada teknik penggunaan data, penulis menggunakan sistem menganalisa dan membaca secara eksplisit dalam pengolahan data di dalam karya-karya buku yang dibutuhkan. Sehingga uraian hasil yang telah di telisik oleh penulis dalam mengkaji penelitian ini akan membuahkan hasil dan kesimpulan yang baik, khususnya analisis data yang digunakan oleh peneliti diantaranya yaitu, metode interpretasi, hermeneutika, dan iv induktif. Adapun metode penelitian secara umum yang tersaji dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dan kajian pustaka. Hasil dari penelitian ini telah menunjukan bahwa dalam komponen pemikiran epistemologi agama Plantinga, Alvin Plantinga memiliki basis pemikiran epistemologi agama nya yaitu: Epistemologi reformed, teori Fungsi yang tepat, dan model Aquinas/Calvin, dan diantara epistemologi agama Alvin Plantinga telah berpangkal terhadap sistem susunan keyakinan yang bersifat teologis, yang memiliki pijakan terhadap entitas keyakinan pada kepercayaan teistik. Sehingga rekonstruksi dan relevansi yang memadai dari epistemologi agama Plantinga telah menunjukan bahwa susunan dari tiga rangkaian epistemologi agama Plantinga mengimplikasi terhadap penawaran atas epistemologi kontemporer yang sebelumnya juga di kritik oleh Plantinga, dengan demikian hasil dari rangkaian itu menunjukan bahwa sisi relevansi itu rekonstruksi terhadap beberapa keyakinan yang berbasis teistik, khususnya Islam. Maka dalam hal ini penulis menunjukan bahwa gagasan epistemologi keagamaan Alvin Plantinga telah menjadi fondasi yang kredibel terhadap sebuah keyakinan keagamaan. Kunci: Alvin Plantinga, Epistemologi, Agama. v ABSTRACT This research is oriented towards an analysis that dissects a specific component of Alvin Plantinga's epistemological thinking on the basis of what he calls Warrant epistemology, so that in the building of Plantinga's epistemological thinking, it will elaborate on the structure of Alvin Plantinga's religious epistemology, thus forming an explicit thought on the epistemology of Religion, so the author describes coherently how the background of the emergence of Alvin Plantinga's series of epistemological thoughts, then in the context of Plantinga's religious thought will be the basis for further reconstruction regarding how this relevance side leads to contemporary epistemological studies and also Islam, so that this research is rooted in structural dissection in applying Plantinga's thoughts into an epistemological variable based on faith, especially including a series of sharp criticisms of the initial formula for Alvin Plantinga's thinking in epistemology, as well as the epistemology of Religion. The method used in the continuation of this research, the author uses data collection techniques from primary works from Alvin Plantinga and secondary works from books that discuss Alvin Plantinga's thoughts, in the data usage technique, the author uses a system of analyzing and reading explicitly in processing data in the works of books needed. So that the description of the results that have been examined by the author in reviewing this research will produce good results and conclusions, especially the data analysis used by the researcher including the interpretation, hermeneutic, and inductive methods. As for the general research methods presented in this study, the author uses qualitative methods and literature reviews. The results of this study have shown that in the components of Plantinga's religious epistemology thinking, Alvin Plantinga has a basis for his religious epistemology thinking, namely: Reformed epistemology, proper function theory, and the vi Aquinas/Calvin model, and among Alvin Plantinga's religious epistemology has been based on a theological belief system, which has a basis for the entity of belief in theistic beliefs. Thus, the adequate reconstruction and relevance of Plantinga's epistemology of religion have shown that the arrangement of the three series of Plantinga's epistemology of religion has implications for the offer of contemporary epistemology that was previously criticized by Plantinga, thus the results of the series show that the relevance side reconstructs several theistic�based beliefs, especially Islam. So in this case the author shows that Alvin Plantinga's idea of religious epistemology has become a credible foundation for a religious belief. Keywords: Alvin Plantinga, Epistemology, Religion

    Knowledge and Reality: Essays in Honor of Alvin Plantinga [review]

    Open access article. Published by Taylor & Francis.According to the Philosophical Lexicon, to ‘planting’ is to ‘use twentieth-century fertilizer to encourage new shoots from eleventh-century ideas which everyone thought had gone to seed.’ Although the prominent US philosopher Alvin Plantinga cannot be said to use medieval ideas in any historically informed sense, he has certainly fertilized contemporary metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of religion. His philosophy was given a comprehensive and systematic analysis already in Alvin Plantinga, ed. Tomberlin (1985), and to this wide-ranging Festschrift under review colleagues and former students contribute. For reasons of space, this review focuses on themes and theses
