Physical Eschatology
Philo 4 (2):148-168 (2001)
Abstract
In this paper, I review evidence which strongly supports the claim that life will eventually be extinguished from the universe. I then examine the ethical implications of this evidence, focusing, in particular, on the question whether it is a bad thing that life will eventually die out.Author's Profile
