  Title: Donald Davidson (philosopher)
  Passage: Donald Herbert Davidson (March 6, 1917 – August 30, 2003) was an American philosopher.  He served as Slusser Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley from 1981 to 2003 after having also held teaching appointments at Stanford University, Rockefeller University, Princeton University, and the University of Chicago.

While Davidson was an analytic philosopher, and most of his influence lies in that tradition, his work has attracted attention in continental philosophy as well, particularly in literary theory and related areas.
  Title: Two Dogmas of Empiricism
  Passage: "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" is a paper by analytic philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine published in 1951.  According to City University of New York professor of philosophy Peter Godfrey-Smith, this "paper [is] sometimes regarded as the most important in all of twentieth-century philosophy".  The paper is an attack on two central aspects of the logical positivists' philosophy.  One is the analytic-synthetic distinction between analytic truths and synthetic truths, explained by Quine as truths grounded only in meanings and independent of facts, and truths grounded in facts.  The other is reductionism, the theory that each meaningful statement gets its meaning from some logical construction of terms that refers exclusively to immediate experience.

  Title: David Braine (philosopher)
  Passage: David Braine (1940 – February 17, 2017) was a British analytic philosopher with interests in analytic Philosophy of religion and Metaphysics, who sought to marry the techniques and insights of analytical philosophy and Phenomenology to the Metaphysics of classical Thomism.  His "The Reality of Time and the Existence of God" set out to prove the existence of God from the fact that the world enjoys continuity in time.  He argued that nothing in the world could be the cause of this continuity, whence God came into the picture.
  Title: Alvin Plantinga's free will defense
  Passage: Alvin Plantinga's free will defense is a logical argument developed by American analytic philosopher Alvin Plantinga, the John A. O'Brien Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame, and published in its final version in his 1977 book "God, Freedom, and Evil".  Plantinga's argument is a defense against the logical problem of evil as formulated by philosopher J. L. Mackie beginning in 1955.  Mackie's formulation of the logical problem of evil argued that three attributes of God, omniscience, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence, in orthodox Christian theism are logically incompatible with the existence of evil.  In 1982, Mackie conceded that Plantinga's defense successfully refuted his argument in "The Miracle of Theism," though he did not claim that the problem of evil had been put to rest.
