About the author

Nicholas Everitt is an English philosopher and writer whose work centers on epistemology and the philosophy of religion. Sources describe him as having studied Moral Science at the University of Cambridge and then completing postgraduate work at the University of Oxford.

He taught philosophy at the University of East Anglia, where he was a senior lecturer, and also taught at Fairfield University, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and later for the Open University. His academic writing is known for taking difficult philosophical questions and presenting them in a direct, approachable way.

Everitt is especially associated with The Non-Existence of God, published by Routledge in 2003, a book that examines major arguments about God's existence and the idea of divine attributes with sustained critical analysis. He also co-authored Modern Epistemology: A New Introduction with Alec Fisher, reflecting his long-standing interest in how knowledge, belief, and justification are understood in modern philosophy.
