The Philosophy of the Cosmos
A different approach to understanding the universe is now available courtesy of a new book titled the Philosophy of the Cosmos. The book offers a new and modern philosophical insight to the problem of the nature of the universe. The Philosophy of the Cosmos introduces a new dimension to the study of the universe through concepts and ideas that originate in philosophy. The book which is written in a lucid and fluid language has been composed to render the subject more understandable.
The Philosophy of the Cosmos is the new philosophical view of the universe. It is the latest effort of philosophical enquiry on the universe. The original contribution of the work lay in what is termed as the abstracts. The abstracts, according to the book, are incorporeal entities that brought about the evolution and development of the universe. The abstracts also form part of the constituents of the cosmos. These abstracts are spirit, soul, air, mind, consciousness, reason and ideas. The book not only renders the universe understandable but also interesting. The book though meant for academic philosophers appeals to everyone that is interested in the study of the universe.
The Philosophy of the Cosmos begins with an interesting account and classification of the things that constitute the universe. The constitutive things of the universe are classified into different categories on the basis of their general attribute. The categories mentioned in the book are the abstract, the material and the real. The general attribute of things in each category are incorporeality, inertia and change respectively. For example, things belonging to the category of the abstract are spirit, soul, air, mind; water, rocks, fossils for the material and the sun, moon, clouds for the real. The book also delineates the structure of the cosmos based on these categories.
The Philosophy of the Cosmos is a highly stimulating work. It explains the nature of the cosmos from an entirely different perspective. The book offers a counterpart theory to the scientific theory of evolution of the universe. The book, authored by Opeyemi Adeyemi who studies philosophy at a Nigerian university, is 88 pages in length. Purchase of the book is presently available through Lulu.com, the premier marketplace for digital content on the internet. The 6 x 9 paperback in the Reference category of Lulu.com is the first published work of the author.
