The Puzzle of Existence: Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? de Tyron Goldschmidt

The Puzzle of Existence: Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?: Routledge Studies in Metaphysics

Editat de Tyron Goldschmidt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2014
This groundbreaking volume investigates the most fundamental question of all: Why is there something rather than nothing? The question is explored from diverse and radical perspectives: religious, naturalistic, platonistic and skeptical. Does science answer the question? Or does theology? Does everything need an explanation? Or can there be brute, inexplicable facts? Could there have been nothing whatsoever? Or is there any being that could not have failed to exist? Is the question meaningful after all? The volume advances cutting-edge debates in metaphysics, philosophy of cosmology and philosophy of religion, and will intrigue and challenge readers interested in any of these subjects.

Recenzii

"[A] great strength of the volume is how much it has to offer to so many different domains of discourse. Anyone with even a passing interest in cosmological arguments, the PSR, metaphysical nihilism, subtraction arguments, methodology in modality, ultimate explanations, God, the limits and purview of scientific explanations and, of course, the puzzle(s) of existence will find something of value in it. And...it also has something to offer to folks working in areas who may not yet realize that certain of their commitments are tangled up in the puzzle(s) of existence." -Ricki Bliss, Kyoto University, Japan
"...this work offers an excellent exercise in abstract philosophical reasoning. Summing Up: Highly recommended." H.C. Byerly, University of Arizona, USA in Choice
"There is not much doubt that the title of this book will catch the eye of every philosopher, regardless of their personal interests...For a philosopher, interested in philosophical implications of scientific theories of the universe, and also working in S&R, this book offers great promise of a delightful feast... [and] the variety of the contributions makes it likely that everybody will find something tasty in this volume." - Grzegorz Bugajak Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw, ESSSAT News & Reviews
