God and the Multiverse: Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Perspectives
ISBN: 9781138788671 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In recent decades, scientific theories have postulated the existence of many universes beyond our own. The details and implications of these theories are hotly contested. Some philosophers argue that these scientific models count against the existence of God. Others, however, argue that if God exists, a multiverse is precisely what we should expect to find. Moreover, these philosophers claim that the idea of a divinely created multiverse can help believers in God respond to certain arguments for atheism. These proposals are, of course, also extremely controversial. This volume collects... In recent decades, scientific theories have postulated the existence of many universes beyond our own.

Many accounts of God have been proposed, and many arguments for and against God's existence have been offered and discussed. But while philosophers have been busy trying to determine whether or not God exists, they have generally neglected to ask this question: "Does it matter whether God exists?" Does God Matter? features ten original essays written by prominent philosophers of religion that address this very important, yet surprisingly neglected, question. One natural way to approach this question... The question of whether God exists has long preoccupied philosophers. Many accounts of God have been proposed, and many arguments for and against G... |

While officialdom and the narrow elite sought to control civic rituals, the urban lower...

Facts and Values: Philosophical Reflections from Western and Non-Western Perspectives
ISBN: 9789401084826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The answer to philosophical questions will often depend on the position one takes regarding the fact-value problem. It is, therefore, not surprising that, in the tradition of western philosophy, the past 200 years or so record an animated discussion of it. In the present collection the debate is continued by representatives of various "schools" in contemporary western thought. A number of philosophers from non-western cultures, too, enter into it. The contributions do not all reflect on the same theme, nor do they use the same approach. Essays written by philosophers sympathetic to the...
