    The Philosophy of Cosmology.Khalil Chamcham, John Barrow, Simon Saunders & Joe Silk (eds.) - 2017 - Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press.
    Following a long-term international collaboration between leaders in cosmology and the philosophy of science, this volume addresses foundational questions at the limit of science across these disciplines, questions raised by observational and theoretical progress in modern cosmology. Space missions have mapped the Universe up to its early instants, opening up questions on what came before the Big Bang, the nature of space and time, and the quantum origin of the Universe. As the foundational volume of an emerging (...)

    Trans-Planckian Philosophy of Cosmology.Mike D. Schneider - 2021 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 90:184-193.
    I provide some philosophical groundwork for the recently proposed ‘trans-Planckian censorship’ conjecture in theoretical physics. In particular, I argue that structure formation in early universe cosmology is, at least as we typically understand it, autonomous with regards to quantum gravity, the high energy physics that governs the Planck regime in our universe. Trans-Planckian censorship is then seen as a means of rendering this autonomy an empirical constraint within ongoing quantum gravity research.

    Cosmos, Cosmology and Philosophy of Cosmology: An Essay on Archeology of Cosmology. 이지선 - 2020 - Journal of the Society of Philosophical Studies 130:69-97.
    우주론이 우주를 대상으로 하는 과학이라면, 우주철학은 우주론을 대상으로 하는 철학으로, 주로 우주란 무엇인지, 그리고 이 우주를 대상으로 하는 과학이 가능한지를 다룬다. 우주는 존재하는 모든 것을 포괄하는 하나의 전체로 정의된다. 이는 우주론에 과학성, 혹은 과학으로서의 가능성이라는 문제를 제기하며 또 특유의 자기성찰성으로 이어진다. 최근 다중우주 개념이 대두되면서 이 문제는 새로운 국면을 맞게 되었는데, 이로부터 우주가 고정된 것이 아니라 하나의 열린 개념이며, 우주와 우주론에 대한 새로운 접근이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 나는 이 논문에서 우선 우주철학을 개괄하고, 그 핵심 문제로 현대우주론에서 우주가 어떻게 규정되는지, (...)

    Bruteau's philosophy of spiritual evolution and consciousness: foundation for a nursing cosmology.M. Patrice McCarthy - 2011 - Nursing Philosophy 12 (1):67-75.
    The ontological foundation of the modern world view based on irreconcilable dichotomies has held hegemonic status since the dawn of the scientific revolution. The post‐modern critique has exposed the inadequacies of the modern perspective and challenged the potential for any narrative to adequately ground a vision for the future. This paper proposes that the philosophy of Beatrice Bruteau can support a foundation for a visionary world view consistent with nursing's respect for human dignity and societal health. The author discusses (...)

    Nietzsche's philosophy of nature and cosmology.Alistair Moles - 1990 - New York: P. Lang.
    Nietzsche's doctrine of the -eternal recurrence of the same- - the conception that the universe of events repeats itself in the same sequence, to infinity - is often taken to be logically incoherent: if an event recurs, it is not identically the same as the event itself, and if taken as self-identical cannot be the recurrence of anything. This book offers a new interpretation of the doctrine so as to rescue it from the charge of incoherence. It shows that the (...)

    The Phenomenon of Cosmological Ideas in Early American Puritan Philosophy.Yaroslav Sobolievskyi - 2023 - Philosophy and Cosmology 30:124-132.
    The purpose of this article is to offer a specific perspective on Puritan philosophy. Most of the early American philosophy of the Puritans dealt with theological issues, the main topics of philosophical speculation were the ideas of God, salvation, freedom, and others. However, there were some ideas, the presence of which is an important factor, which until now has been little taken into account. This factor is the genuine interest of the Puritans in the natural sciences. Both in (...)

    Cosmological questions (e.g., how far the world extends and how it all began) have occupied humans for ages and given rise to numerous conjectures, both within and outside philosophy. To put to rest fruitless speculation, Kant argued that these questions move beyond the limits of human knowledge. This article begins with Kant’s doubts about cosmology and shows that his arguments presuppose unreasonably high standards on knowledge and unwarranted assumptions about space-time. As an analysis of the foundations of twentieth-century (...)

    On the ‘Very Idea of a Philosophy of Science’: On Chemistry and Cosmology in Nietzsche and Kant.Babette Babich - 2021 - Axiomathes 31 (6):703-726.
    Beginning with a reflection on ‘conceptual schemes’ and ‘very’ ideas and proceeding to examine different approaches to thinking philosophy of science not only with Kant but also between traditional analytic and hermeneutico-phenomenological approaches, this essay features a review of Kant’s 1755 solar nebular hypothesis and a reading of Nietzsche and Kant on cosmology along with a reflection on chemistry and the properties of cinnabar. Overall it is argued that a philosophy of science must be critical rather than (...)

    Hegel’s Philosophy of Right and the Idea of the World: Dialectic’s “Political Cosmology”.Angelica Nuzzo - 2021 - Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society 33 (3-4):332-358.
    ABSTRACT Foregrounding Hegel’s political cosmology allows us to set his dialectic-speculative theory of the political world in contrast both to ideal theories and to historicist-positivist theories. Against these positions, Hegel upholds his “realism of the idea”: the claim that a rational world is neither a pre-given whole nor an unattainable ideal, but the dynamic, immanent orientation of reason that continually constructs and animates the world. Hegel’s view of the world thus provides him with a way of reconceiving the relationship (...)

  23. Interpreting the quantum mechanics of cosmology.David Wallace - forthcoming - In A. Ijjas & B. Loewer (eds.), Philosophy of Cosmology: an Introduction. Oxford University Press.
    Quantum theory plays an increasingly significant role in contemporary early-universe cosmology, most notably in the inflationary origins of the fluctuation spectrum of the microwave background radiation. I consider the two main strategies for interpreting standard quantum mechanics in the light of cosmology. I argue that the conceptual difficulties of the approaches based around an irreducible role for measurement - already very severe - become intolerable in a cosmological context, whereas the approach based around Everett's original idea of treating (...)

    Aiming to present the traditional philosophy of nature, it consists of exposition of Aristotelian texts and parallel commentaries of St. Thomas on moving beings, motion, time, and space, with a minimum of critical comment. The author urges rather than strictly argues the thesis that the fundamentals of the Aristotelian philosophy of nature, as opposed to the details, are still viable. Relevant texts of St. Thomas are appended.--P. J.

    Strategies for stage II of cosmological arguments.Simón Tadeo Ocampo - forthcoming - International Journal for Philosophy of Religion:1-34.
    The following article will examine three argumentative strategies to address a recent topic of debate in the philosophy of religion known as the “Gap Problem.” It aims to study the “Stage II” of cosmological arguments, where the goal is to establish the theistic properties or attributes that identify the first cause or necessary being with the concept of God. The unique contribution of this study lies in the formalized and systematic presentation of the various solutions proposed by authors in (...)

  28. Some epistemic questions of cosmology.Petar V. Grujić - 2007 - Foundations of Science 12 (1):39-83.
    We discuss a number of fundamental aspects of modern cosmological concepts, from the phenomenological, observational, theoretical and epistemic points of view. We argue that the modern cosmology, despite a great advent, in particular in the observational sector, is yet to solve important problems, posed already by the classical times. In particular the stress is put on discerning the scientific features of modern cosmological paradigms from the more speculative ones, with the latter immersed in some aspects deeply into mythological world (...)

    In this essay I shall try to offer an outline of an answer to the question of which subject matter and which methodological peculiarities of cosmology caused cosmology only in this century to be transformed into one of the scientific branches of physics in spite of the fact that cosmological considerations on the Universe, and particularly on its origin, are present in the most archaic cultures and so belong to some of the oldest springs of human thought.

He wants to understand why there is a universe; and he wants to know what kind of a universe it is that he inhabits. Primitive man has his myths about the origins of things, and the modern scientists have their latest speculations about the universe. And of the making of cosmological hypotheses there is no end.

  36. A brief history of cosmological arguments.Dcwtd S. Oderberg - unknown
    There is no such thing as the cosmological argument. Rather, there are several arguments that all proceed from facts or alleged facts concerning causation, change, motion, contingency, or Hnitude in respect of the universe as a whole or processes within it. From them, and from general principles said to govern them, one is led to deduce or infer as highly probable the existence of a cause of the universe (as opposed, say, to a designer or a source of value). Such (...), the figure standing head and shoulders above the rest is Rabbi Moses ben Maimon/Maimonides/Rambam (l 135/8—l204). He proposed an elaborate form of Aristotle’s unmoved or ‘prime’ mover argument, based on an Aristotelian conception of the motion of the heavens, concluding: ‘This Prime Motor of the sphere is God, praised be His name!’ (Maimonides l9$6: pt..

    The Problematic Status of Cosmology.François De Gandt - 1995 - Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal 18 (1):51-64.
    Contemporary cosmology is a discipline of a peculiar sort. While it appears to be gradually gaining a certain scientific respectability, it clearly remains more speculative than other branches of physics. This is so for several reasons: the rather small stock of observations upon which it rests, the highly theoretical and abstract character of its intellectual tools, the close dependency of its arguments upon particular models, and, especially, its too great proximity to phantasy and extra-scientific convictions.

  38. The recent revival of cosmological arguments.David Alexander - 2008 - Philosophy Compass 3 (3):541–550.
    Cosmological arguments have received more attention in the past ten years. One reason for this is that versions with restricted or even no reliance on the principle of sufficient reason (PSR) have been formulated. By not relying on PSR – what many consider to be a necessary falsehood – philosophers have been able to escape many of the old criticisms of cosmological arguments. In this essay I survey two recent attempts at presenting a sound version of a cosmological argument. I (...)

    For centuries, the ancient Chinese philosophical text the _Daodejing (Tao Te Ching)_ has fascinated and frustrated its readers. While it offers a wealth of rich philosophical insights concerning the cultivation of one's body and attaining one's proper place within nature and the cosmos, its teachings and structure can be enigmatic and obscure. Hans-Georg Moeller presents a clear and coherent description and analysis of this vaguely understood Chinese classic. He explores the recurring images and ideas that shape the work and offers (...)

    Cosmological Topologies and the (De)formations of Things at Catastrophic Ends.Omar Rivera - 2024 - Research in Phenomenology 54 (1):52-73.
    Drawing from Andean cosmological, mythological and aesthetic lineages, this paper is about the possibility of a phenomenology of things at catastrophic ends. In this regard, I approach things under the sway of a (de)formative emptiness. In the first part, I develop a relational ontology on the basis of the Andean notion of pacha or cosmos, which provides a phenomenological frame for a determination of “place,” “world” and “topology.” I also contrast an elemental topology of the cosmos configured by ouranic sunlight (...)

    Philosophy of chemistry and limits of complexity.Hrvoj Vančik - 2003 - Foundations of Chemistry 5 (3):237-247.
    The problem of complexity is considered within the framework of concepts developed in recent studies in the philosophy of chemistry. According to previously expressed ideas about diminishing interactions (Vančik, 1999), as well as on the basis of the concept of levels of complexity, we speculate here that the complexity should approach its final limit. On the other hand, dynamical complexity may grow ad infinitum, and relativistic effects can only limit it. Impacts of these considerations on a possible change of (...)

    Physical cosmology is one of the disciplines at the forefront of modern science. Using existing physical theories and creating own ones, it describes the dynamics and evolution of the Universe, transforms and modernizes the scientific picture of the world on the largest possible scale. The article analyzes the main presuppositions and outcomes of nowadays cosmology, which are based on fundamental physical principles (theories) and astronomical observations. It has been revealed that throughout its existence as a science (about 100 (...)

    Mary Astell is best known today as one of the earliest English feminists. This book sheds new light on her writings by interpreting her first and foremost as a moral philosopher—as someone committed to providing guidance on how best to live. The central claim of this work is that all the different strands of Astell’s thought—her epistemology, her metaphysics, her philosophy of the passions, her feminist vision, and her conservative political views—are best understood in light of her ethical objectives.

    A short review of some recent developments in the philosophy of physics is presented. I focus on themes which illustrate relations and points of common interest between philosophy of physics and three of its `neighboring' elds: Physics, metaphysics and general philosophy of science. The main examples discussed in these three `border areas' are decoherence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics; time in physics and metaphysics; and methodological issues surrounding the multiverse idea in modern cosmology.
