God and the Multiverse: Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Perspectives: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion

Editat de Klaas Kraay
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 oct 2014
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 together twelve newly published essays – two by physicists, and ten by philosophers – that discuss various aspects of this issue. Some of the essays support the idea of a divinely created multiverse; others oppose it. Scientific, philosophical, and theological issues are considered.

Recenzii

"This is a valuable collection of state-of-the-art essays on a timely topic. Each essay has material worth considering and each bibliography is a useful resource. I look forward to those working on the topics addressing some of the issues that newcomers may find to be barriers to entry to the philosophical and theological reflections contained in the book."--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"The overall quality of the essays in this volume is excellent. They all make interesting and unique contributions to the multiverse literature ... This volume is important to any philosopher interested in the multiverse. I also predict that it will become required reading for any philosopher of religion wanting to research the connection(s) between God and the multiverse. I highly recommend it."--Faith and Philosophy 

Descriere

This collection brings together broad perspectives exploring the relationship between theism and the idea that multiple universes exist beyond our own, aiming to thoroughly assess the idea that a multiverse is to be expected if theism is true. Contributors including ten philosophers, two physicists, and one philosopher-astrophysicist discuss various theistic multiverse models, and their scientific, philosophical, and theological ramifications. God and the Multiverse provides a definitive contemporary treatment of the provocative claim that if God exists, there are many universes.
