As part of the successful series “Elements of the Philosophy of Religion” edited by Yujin Nagasawa, Michael Almeida discusses the structure, content, evaluation of traditional cosmological arguments. Almeida offers us a formulation and evaluation of traditional Kalam, Thomistic and Leibnizian cosmological arguments, though he also introduces us to the approach of modal realism, in which the explananda of such arguments is the totality of actualia and possibilia.
