Philosophy Science and Religion for Everyone

Philosophy Science and Religion for Everyone

Philosophy Science and Religion for Everyone brings together these great truth-seeking disciplines and seeks to understand the ways in which they challenge and inform each other. Key topics and their areas of focus include: • Foundational Issues – why should anyone care about the science-and-religion debate? How do scientific claims relate to the truth? Is evolution compatible with design? • Faith and Rationality – can faith ever be rational? Are theism and atheism totally opposed? Is God hidden or does God simply not exist? • Faith and Science - what provides a better explanation for the origin of the universe—science or religion? Faith and physics: can they be reconciled? Does contemporary neuroscience debunk religious belief? Creationism and evolutionary biology - what constitutes science and what constitutes pseudo-science? • Practical Implications – is fundamentalism just a problem for religious people? What are the ethical implications of the science-and-religion debate? Do logic and religion mix? This book is designed to be used in conjunction with the free ‘Philosophy Science and Religion’ MOOC (massive open online course) created by the University of Edinburgh and hosted by the Coursera platform (www. coursera. org). This book is also highly recommended for anyone looking for a concise overview of this fascinating discipline. | Philosophy Science and Religion for Everyone

Science and Public Policy A Philosophical Introduction

Science and Public Policy A Philosophical Introduction

Science and Public Policy: A Philosophical Introduction argues that in order to effectively apply science in any relevant or meaningful way we must first understand what science is how it works and what its limitations are. The first half of the book thus discusses the domain of science the concept of scientific evidence and the interpretation of scientific data. The second half then moves through a detailed discussion of science communication in the public sphere the concept use and limitations of scientific expertise and finally the ways in which we can effectively apply science to public policies in the context of a democratic society. Along the way the book uses detailed scientific examples to explore the relationship between science and uncertainty with the aim of showing that in the end public debates over science are rarely over the science itself but instead over what public policies will follow from the science. Key Features Explains what science is as well as what it can and cannot do in the context of public policy. Offers separate chapters dedicated to: Scientific Methodology Scientific Evidence Interpreting the Science Communicating the Science Scientific Expertise Science-Informed Public Policies Includes Introductions and Summaries in each chapter to help guide the reader throughout the book | Science and Public Policy A Philosophical Introduction

A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness

A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness

This book attempts to advance Donald Griffin's vision of the final crowning chapter of the Darwinian revolution by developing a philosophy for the science of animal consciousness. It advocates a Darwinian bottom-up approach that treats consciousness as a complex evolved and multidimensional phenomenon in nature rather than a mysterious all-or-nothing property immune to the tools of science and restricted to a single species. The so-called emergence of a science of consciousness in the 1990s has at best been a science of human consciousness. This book aims to advance a true Darwinian science of consciousness in which its evolutionary origin function and phylogenetic diversity are moved from the field’s periphery to its very centre thus enabling us to integrate consciousness into an evolutionary view of life. Accordingly this book has two objectives: (i) to argue for the need and possibility of an evolutionary bottom-up approach that addresses the problem of consciousness in terms of the evolutionary origins of a new ecological lifestyle that made consciousness worth having and (ii) to articulate a thesis and beginnings of a theory of the place of consciousness as a complex evolved phenomenon in nature that can help us to answer the question of what it is like to be a bat an octopus or a crow. A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness will appeal to researchers and advanced students interested in advancing our understanding of animal minds as well as anyone with a keen interest in how we can develop a science of animal consciousness.
