Why should there be anything at all? Why, in particular, should a material world exist? Bede Rundle advances clear, non-technical answers to these perplexing questions. If, as the theist maintains, God is a being who cannot but exist, his existence explains why there is something rather than nothing. However, this can also be explained on the basis of a weaker claim. Not that there is some particular being that has to be, but simply that there has to be something or other. Rundle proffers arguments for thinking that that is indeed how the question is to be put to rest. Traditionally, the existence of the physical universe is held to depend on God, but the theist faces a major difficulty in making clear how a being outside space and time, as God is customarily conceived to be, could stand in an intelligible relation to the world, whether as its creator or as the author of events within it. Rundle argues that a creator of physical reality is not required, since there is no alternative to its existence. There has to be something, and a physical universe is the only real possibility.He supports this claim by eliminating rival contenders; he dismisses the supernatural, and argues that, while other forms of being, notably the abstract and the mental, are not reducible to the physical, they presuppose its existence. The question whether ultimate explanations can ever be given is forever in the background, and the book concludes with an investigation of this issue and of the possibility that the universe could have existed for an infinite time. Other topics discussed include causality, space, verifiability, essence, existence, necessity, spirit, fine tuning, and laws of Nature. Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing offers an explanation of fundamental facts of existence in purely philosophical terms, without appeal either to theology or cosmology. It will provoke and intrigue anyone who wonders about these questions.

Why is There Something Rather Than Nothing? Penguin Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Can nature make us happy? How can we know anything? What is justice? Why is there evil in the world? What is the source of truth? Is it possible for God not to exist? Can we really believe what we see? There are questions that have intrigued the world's great thinkers over the ages, which still touch a cord in all of us today. They are questions that can teach us about the way we live, work, relate to each other and see the world. Here, one of the world's greatest living philosophers, Leszek Kolakowski, explores the essence of these ideas, introducing figures from Socrates to Thomas Aquinas, Descartes to Nietzsche and concentrating on one single important philosophical question from each of them. Whether reflecting on good and evil, truth and beauty, faith and the soul, or free will and consciousness, Kolakowski shows that these timeless ideas remain at the very core of our existence.

Wszechświat z niczego. Dlaczego istnieje raczej coś niż nic - Lawrence Krauss
Książki & Multimedia > Książki
Opis - Odważna i kontrowersyjna książka Lawrence`a M. Kraussa stanowi dla czytelników zainteresowanych fizyką i kosmologią takie samo wyzwanie, jakim dla zainteresowanych biologią były książki Richarda Dawkinsa. Zbieżność tę podkreśla wyraźnie posłowie, w którym autor "Samolubnego genu" stwierdza, że "Wszechświat z niczego" to w dziedzinie kosmologii ekwiwalent śmiertelnego ciosu, jakim dla supernaturalizmu w biologii było "O powstawaniu gatunków" Darwina. "Tytuł wyraża dokładnie to, co jest napisane. A to, co jest napisane, jest druzgocące" - pisze Dawkins.Jednak "Wszechświat z niczego" to nie tylko wspaniała polemika, ale przede wszystkim potężna dawka wiedzy na temat przyszłości naszego Wszechświata, opartej na najnowszych osiągnięciach fizyki, z odkryciem pola Higgsa na pierwszym miejscu, i przekazywanej w sposób prosty, niebanalny i z dużą dawką humoru. Ostatnio opublikowano wiele świetnych książek o kosmologii, w tym tylko kilka tak zaawansowanych, lecz żadnej, która z taką swadą - jak "Wszechświat z niczego" - zgłębiałaby zagadnienie, dlaczego niepotrzebne jest przywoływanie Boga do podpalenia lontu i wprawienia świata w ruch."Financial Times"Opisana przez Kraussa niestabilna nicość jest inspirująca, ponieważ w tej nicości można ujrzeć i zrozumieć wiele wspaniałych rzeczy."Nature"Lawrence M. Krauss jest światowej sławy fizykiem teoretykiem, zaangażowanym w badania dotyczące kosmologii, a także cząstek elementarnych. Pracuje na Wydziale Fizyki Uniwersytetu Stanowego Arizony, jest również dyrektorem kilku interdyscyplinarnych projektów naukowych.Wielokrotnie nagradzany za swoje badania oraz działalność popularyzatorską, jest jedynym laureatem nagród trzech głównych amerykańskich towarzystw fizycznych: American Physical Society, American Association of Physics Teachers i American Institute of Physics.
