Abstract:

The Cartesian vortex theory was of great interest to John Locke. Yet, the evidence for Locke’s interactions with and attitude towards Cartesian cosmology has never been assembled. After providing a sketch of the Cartesian theory of vortices, the chapter provides a preliminary survey of Locke’s increasingly critical responses to it. Taken in isolation, these comments might suggest that Locke firmly rejected the vortex theory by the late 1680s; however, it is argued that a more fine-grained analysis indicates that Locke is typical of many in England who acquiesced in a generic vortical explanation of the system of the planets until after the mid-1690s. The chapter surveys Locke’s broader interest in French and English cosmogonical writings in the 1690s respectively, and finishes with some concluding remarks on the context in which Locke frames the phrase ‘our solar system’ and substitutes it for ‘our vortex’.

Abstract:

For many decades, the proponents of `artificial intelligence' have maintained that computers will soon be able to do everything that a human can do. In his bestselling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating tour through the basic principles of physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by a machine. Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

Abstract:

This chapter addresses the scientific underpinnings of several of Greg Egan's novels. It first considers the “subjective cosmology” of the universes depicted in Quarantine, Permutation City, and Distress, with their attendant quantum mechanical weirdness. Next, it tackles theories about how our own universe works as seen in the novels Diaspora, Schild's Ladder, and Incandescence. Finally, the chapter provides a rough overview of the alternate-world physics shown in the Orthogonal trilogy, with a particular focus on Clockwork Rocket and Eternal Flame, the two volumes published at the time of writing. It concludes with a section on Egan's use of scientific principles as metaphors for larger philosophical points.

Laywine, Alison. Kant's Transcendental Deduction. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198748922.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

The Transcendental Deduction in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason tries to show that all human thought and knowledge depend on the categories of the understanding and that these categories can apply only to appearances. If it works as an argument, it implies that metaphysics as a science of non-sensible things is impossible. The author of this book argues, however, that the Transcendental Deduction reflects Kant’s long engagement with the branch of special metaphysics called ‘general cosmology’: the doctrine of a world as such. General cosmology was supposed to be a science of non-sensible things. That is how Kant treated it in his early metaphysical writings. But the author argues that Kant later adapted it for the purposes of the Transcendental Deduction. He extracted from it a purely formal characterization of a world, stripped of any commitment to non-sensible things, and repurposed it as a characterization of experience. The author argues that Kant’s formal cosmology of experience is at the heart of the Transcendental Deduction: it informs the aim of the Deduction and the details of its argument—even those that appear remote from anything cosmological.

Full text

Abstract:

The evangelical attitude toward Newtonian science and devotional response to the natural world can be seen in a variety of individuals, all of whom drew upon the tradition of physico-theology but turned this into something more like a physico-doxology. William Romaine largely rejected Newtonian science, preferring the alternative Hutchinsonian cosmology, but Augustus Toplady celebrated science and used mechanical philosophy to support his Calvinist belief in necessity. Evangelical belletristic writing showed a keen appreciation of contemporary science and an attitude of devotional wonder, something especially evident in James Hervey, Moses Browne, Anne Steele, and Phillis Wheatley. In the last half of the century, Isaac Milner was a thoroughgoing Newtonian at Cambridge who closely united his science and his evangelical faith, and John Russell was an accomplished evangelical artist and amateur astronomer who combined art, science, and devotion in his exquisite lunar drawings.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter situates Schuonian Perennialism within the larger discursive tradition of essentialist, religious universalism through a comparison with Friedrich Schleiermacher. It thus argues that Frithjof Schuon, and those writing within his orbit, made a Copernican turn away from Ibn ‘Arabi’s hierarchical cosmology to one of cosmic pluralism united by a Schleiermacherian notion of a transcendent and universally valid religious a priori, or “religion as such.” To clearly demonstrate this turn, Ibn ‘Arabi’s discourse is here historicized in relation to the polemical thought of Ibn Ḥazm (d. 1064). Like Ibn Hazm, Ibn ‘Arabi claims that the Jews were guilty of textual corruption (taḥrīf al-naṣṣ) and not simply a corruption of meaning (taḥrīf al-maʿānī) as implied in Perennialist discourse. Rather than the soteriological power of their religions, Ibn ‘Arabi holds that the salvation of the People of the Book is metaphysically determined by their submission to Muhammad’s prophetic authority.

Primavesi, Oliver. Empedocles: Physical and Mythical Divinity. Edited by Patricia Curd and Daniel W. Graham. Oxford University Press, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195146875.003.0009.

Full text

Abstract:

This article considers how the new finds have affected one's view of Empedocles, and suggests how interpretation of that material might help solve (or dissolve) some longstanding problems about the structure and content of Empedocles' writings. A basic account of the teachings of Empedocles would distinguish between two main components. On the one hand, there is a “Presocratic” physics, including a theory of principles, a cosmology, and a biology. On the other hand, there is a mythical law, clearly inspired by Orphic or Pythagorean legends, which imposes on guilty gods (called daimones) a punishment consisting in their transmigration through a series of mortal beings. The purpose of this article is to show that Empedocles has the habit of referring to divine entities of his physical system both in a physical and in a mythological way and that his uses of the word daimon form part of this twofold language.

Full text

Abstract:

The chapter discusses ancient beliefs about the gods and the cosmos and describes ancient religious practices and their intersections with New Testament writings. It presents the unsystematic nature of beliefs about the gods and other powers, the meaning of divine epithets as means to access the divine, and divine epiphanies as markers of ever-present deities. It describes the form and function of temples and the role of sacrifice and votive offerings as means to communicate with divinities. It discusses the role of festivals and processions as well as daily rituals embedded in household practices and the role of neighborhood experts in guiding devotion. It considers magic, its uses, and the need to protect oneself from it in everyday life. Jewish and Christian views of demons and cosmic forces are presented. Also discussed are Christian rituals of Eucharist and baptism in the context of ancient practices and cosmology.

O'Daly, Gerard. Augustine's City of God. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198841241.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

The City of God, written in the aftermath of the Gothic sack of Rome in AD 410, is the most influential of Augustine’s works. It has played a decisive role in the formation of the culture of the Christian West. Gerard O’Daly’s book remains the most comprehensive modern guide to it in any language. The City of God has a wide scope, including cosmology, psychology, political thought, anti-pagan polemic, Christian apologetic, theory of history, biblical interpretation, and apocalyptic themes. This book, therefore, is about a single literary masterpiece, yet at the same time it surveys Augustine’s developing views through the whole range of his thought. It provides a running commentary on each part of the work. Further chapters elucidate the early fifth-century political, social, historical, and literary background, the works’s sources, and its place in Augustine’s writings. This new and extensively revised edition takes into account the abundant work, in Augustine studies and in research on late antiquity generally, in the twenty years since its first publication, while retaining the book’s focus on Augustine as writer and thinker in the Latin tradition, active at a time of rapid Christianization in a radically changing Roman Empire. It includes chapter-by-chapter suggestions for further reading, an extensive summary of the work’s contents, and a brief bibliographical guide to research on its reception. All Greek and Latin texts are translated. The book is aimed at readers of Augustine, and at the same time at a wider readership among students of late antiquity, theologians, philosophers, medievalists, Renaissance scholars, and historians of art and iconography.
