''God and Other Minds'' is the name of a 1967 book by Alvin Plantinga which re-kindled serious philosophical debate on the existence of God in Anglophone philosophical circles〔see e.g. ''The Rationality of Theism'' quoting Quentin Smith "God is not 'dead' in academia; he returned to life in the late 1960s". They specifically relate this to Planting's ''God and Other Minds'', and cite "the shift from hostility towards theism in Paul Edawards's ''Encycolepdia of Philosophy'' (1967) to sympathy towards theism in the more recent Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy〕 by arguing that belief in God was like belief in other minds: although neither could be demonstrated conclusively against a determined sceptic both were fundamentally rational. The philosophical argument has been developed and criticised by Plantinga and others in the succeeding 40 years. ==The book ''God and Other Minds''== ''God and Other Minds: A Study of the Rational Justification of Belief in God'' was originally published by Cornell University Press in (1967). An edition with a new preface by Plantinga was published in 1990 (ISBN 978-0801497353).
