Known for clear, rigorous writing on belief, knowledge, and religion, this English philosopher has spent much of his career asking hard questions in an accessible way. His best-known book, The Non-Existence of God, made him a notable voice in contemporary philosophy of religion.

by Nicholas Everitt
Born in 1943, he is an English philosopher and writer whose work centers on epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of religion. He studied Moral Science at the University of Cambridge and later completed postgraduate work at the University of Oxford.
He served as a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia and also taught at Fairfield University, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and the Open University. His writing is especially associated with careful, analytical discussions of religious belief and the arguments made for and against the existence of God.
Among his best-known books are Modern Epistemology: A New Introduction (with Alec Fisher) and The Non-Existence of God. In that later work, he examines traditional arguments for theism and the coherence of divine attributes, helping make difficult philosophical debates easier for general readers and students to follow.
