Philosophy and the Sciences For Everyone introduces these questions and more. It begins by asking what good is philosophy for the sciences before examining the following questions: - The origin of our universe - Dark matter and dark energy - Anthropic reasoning in philosophy and cosmology - Evolutionary theory and the human mind - What is consciousness? - Intelligent machines and the human brain - Embodied Cognition. Each chapter includes an introduction, summary and study questions and there is a glossary of technical terms. Designed to be used on the corresponding Philosophy and the Sciences online course offered by the University of Edinburgh this book is also a superb introduction to central topics in philosophy of science and popular science.
