On 2 February 1948, Oxford philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe read a paper to the Oxford Socratic Club criticizing the version of the argument from reason contained in the third chapter of Lewis's Miracles. Lewis accepted the criticism and amended the argument, basing it on the concept of nonrational causes of belief (as in the version provided in this article). Philosophers such as Victor Reppert,[13] William Hasker[14] and Alvin Plantinga[15] have expanded on the argument from reason, and credit C.S. Lewis as an important influence on their thinking. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-447.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-447.txt
