In this book, I discuss the question whether God exists, not as a Tillichian religious symbol, but as an actual person, albeit a person who is very different from you and me.

The main aims of this book are to establish that it is rational to believe that God exists; He also treats ethical supernaturalism as a type of ethical attitude theory, showing how it is related to secular theories which base valid judgments of moral goodness and evil on pro and con attitudes.

'Solipsism' refers to the radically skeptical thesis that no one is justified in believing that there is a world beyond present, subjective states of consciousness. The French philosopher, Rene Descartes, undertook to overcome solipsism by setting out some proofs of God's existence and then arguing that, since God is perfectly good, he would not permit enlightened common sense to be deceived about the existence of an enduring external world.
