How can one be a prominant logician and be a theist

Just because you work with logic doesn't mean that everything you do is logical. People need to get it through their damn heads that ideals are chosen primarily out of irrational sentiment.

As much as it has been western tradition for the last 200 years or so. We don't live in a completely logical cold world.

And if we do we are not smart enough to be able to fully make sense of it.

That sounded pretty autistic. Put in different words: Just because it's logic to humans doesn't mean it's logic in the real world.

is Saul Kripke a popular philosopher? is he well known?

Kripke has literally contributed nothing of worth.

Fuck out of here

The dude literally revolutionized modal logic when he was a teenager

There's nothing illogical about religion. Stop buying into μ atheism memes.

>>2226272
He's considered the most important living philosopher if I'm not mistaken

The number of intellectuals throughout history who have been theistic far outweighs the number who have been openly atheistic.

>>2226233

Godel too.

I agree with the sentiment behind your statement but we also have to be fair: for most of history you couldn't be openly atheist.

>>2226399
Religion in general was a lot more popular in the past.

>>2226405
Yeah, so the point is that it only seems strange to OP that a prominent intellectual would be a theist because being religious isn't fashionable anymore, not because theism and intellect are somehow inherently at odds with each other.

>>2226272
One, if not the, most important philosopher of the 2
th century. Because he's a logician he's not well-known outside of philosophy and his contribution can't be dumbed down to meme's spouted by "philosophers" so no one ever talks about him.

Unless you study logic, most of his things will go over your head.

>>2226233

Because neither theism nor atheism have made anything close to definitive cases against the other. There are very smart people on both sides (actual academics with intellectual integrity) and very stupid people on both sides ( "New Atheists" and evangelical apologists).

So have been the number of intellectuals with indoor plumbing

>>2226528
but is analytical philosophy even real philosophy?

The practice of Judaism and the study of logic and mathematics really compliment each other senpai.
