Muokataan sivua Paul K. Moser

Paul K. Moser (s.1957 Bismarckissa, Pohjois Dakotassa) on yhdysvaltalainen filosofi, jonka erikoistumisalueita ovat tietoteoria ja uskonnonfilosofia. Hän toimii fiflosofian professorina Chicagossa olevassa yliopistossa nimeltä Loyla University ja American Philosophical Quarterlyn toimittajana. Hän on kirjoittanut monia tutkimuksia tietoteoriasta ja uskonnonfilosofiasta, joissa hän kannattaa yhtä muotoa tietoteoreettista perustusteoriaa ja Jumalan tahdon vapautta korostavaa teismiä. Hänen viimeisimmät tutkimuksensa tuovat nämä kaksi nkäemystä yhteen tukeakseen volitionaalista [[evidentialismi |evidentialismia]] jumaluskon suhteen, vastakohtana [[fideismi | fideismille]] ja perinteiselle luonnolliselle teologialle. Hänen tutkimustyönsä nojautuu joihinkin tietoteoreettisiin ja teologisiin oivalluksiin  [[Blase Pascal | Blase Pascalilta]], John Omanilta ja H. H. Farmerilta. Hän lisää näihin (i) näkemyksen Jumalan olemassaolonn todisteista, jotka ovat niiden saatavilla, jotka pyrkivät saamaan Jumalasta tietoa, (ii) näkemyksen arvovaltaisesta todistusaineistosta vastaskohtana katselijan saamalle todistusaineistolle, ja (iii) näkemyksen, jossa Jumalaa koskeva todistusaineisto personifioidaan niin että joistakin ihmisistä tulee todistusaineistoa Jumalan olemassaolon puolesta.
