He earned his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow. His research focuses on comparative philosophy, philosophy of religion, and epistemology, with particular interest in the intersection of Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. He is co-author of the forthcoming book Eastern Philosophy and Classical Theism (Cambridge University Press).<br class=\"html-br\"><br class=\"html-br\">Abstract<br class=\"html-br\">Arguably, Classical Theism endorses the following theses: (1) God exists, (2) God is metaphysically simple, (3) God is impassible, and (4) God is wholly immutable. These theses often, though not always, lead to an endorsement of the view that God is wholly ineffable. Classical Theists, then, often see themselves as apophatic theologians. Ineffability and apophatic theology are not unknown in the great Eastern religious and philosophical traditions. In this talk, Dr. McNabb explores to what extent the metaphysics of Classical Theism are consistent with the metaphysics of various Eastern traditions. After surveying each tradition, he argues that there is not only room for consistency, but that some of the traditions surveyed are plausibly read as endorsing Classical Theism, or at least, something not far off.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us for a thought-provoking discussion hosted by the Department of Philosophy, Chulalongkorn University.&nbsp;Friday, 3 October 2025&nbsp;13.00\u201316.00&nbsp;Room 708, Boromrajkumari BuildingWalk-ins are welcome!&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;BiographyDr. Tyler McNabb is Associate Professor of Philosophy at St. Francis University, Macau.
