Book Description
The Reason for Reality presented in this book is derived from non-theistic ideas ,although it does not rule out theistic origins. The prime notations use cosmological (e.g. singularities), atomic evolution (e.g. quarks to iron) and galactic evolution (e.g. biosphere development). The formation of introspective entities in biospheres lends itself to recognition of variation in individuals and environments. Thus imperfections and overt needs of assistance are generated. These individuals (unfortunates) and situations need to be corrected by other individuals (fortunates) The terms unfortunate and fortunate being relativistic. Also discussed in bio-philosophical terms are a variety of aspects related to the cancer problems. Biochemical and molecular biological mechanisms are devised. In conclusion the reason for reality is to give an opportunity to help unfortunates.

Category : Religion
ISBN : 1409426092
Book Description
In this book, leading authors in the field of science and religion, including William Carroll, Steve Fuller, Karl Giberson and Roger Trigg, highlight the oft-neglected and profound philosophical foundations that underlie some of the most frequent questions at the boundary between science and religion: the reality of knowledge, and the notions of creation, life and design. In tune with Mariano Artigas's work, the authors emphasise that these are neither religious nor scientific but serious philosophical questions.

ISBN : 0190677015
Book Description
The first half of this book argues that physicalism cannot account for consciousness, and hence cannot be true.

Category : Philosophy
ISBN : 022677113X
Book Description
How does science work? Does it tell us what the world is “really” like? What makes it different from other ways of understanding the universe? In Theory and Reality, Peter Godfrey-Smith addresses these questions by taking the reader on a grand tour of more than a hundred years of debate about science. The result is a completely accessible introduction to the main themes of the philosophy of science. Examples and asides engage the beginning student, a glossary of terms explains key concepts, and suggestions for further reading are included at the end of each chapter. Like no other text in this field, Theory and Reality combines a survey of recent history of the philosophy of science with current key debates that any beginning scholar or critical reader can follow. The second edition is thoroughly updated and expanded by the author with a new chapter on truth, simplicity, and models in science.
