Klappentext
With chapters by expert scientists, philosophers, and theologians, this book explores various arguments and perspectives in exo-axiology (the consideration of value beyond Earth).
It explores the following questions: Is our concern for value merely earth-bound and terrestrial, simply a projection of our lonely species onto a vast and valueless universe; or are there reasons to think that value is so basic to the universe that we can also expect to find it beyond Earth in myriad extraterrestrial forms and expressions? What are the implications of this debate for interdisciplinary discussions of cosmology and evolution, contact and communication, and philosophy and religion? What indeed is the relationship between axiology, space exploration, and the search for life, intelligence, and meaning in the universe?
Value Beyond Earth is essential reading for all scholars, researchers, and advanced students in metaethics, the philosophy of religion, and the philosophy of science.
