Question
A rebuttal of this argument likens it to the “ignorant” Peripatetic explanation that bread is nourished by its “nutritive faculty” and senna is purged by its “purgative” one. This argument was the focus of the major works of William Derham. A philosopher who presented a form of this argument was supported by William Whewell and several other contributors to the Bridgewater Treatises. A form of this argument that proceeds by analogy to a house and to a “great machine” is proposed by (*) Cleanthes and critiqued by Philo in David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. In his treatise Natural Theology, William Paley proposed a form of this argument popular among deists that used the analogy of a watchmaker. For 10 points, name this argument that the apparent intricacy of the universe necessitates a God, often prefixed by the adjective “intelligent.” ■END■
