Internationally known theoretical physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss offers provocative, revelatory answers to the most basic philosophical questions: Where did our universe come from? Why is there something rather than nothing? And how is it all going to end? Why is there something rather than nothing?" is asked of anyone who says there is no God. Yet this is not so much a philosophical or religious question as it is a question about the natural world-and until now there has not b...
Knowledge, Nature, and the Good brings together some of John Cooper's most important works on ancient philosophy. In thirteen chapters that represent an ideal companion to the author's influential Reason and Emotion, Cooper addresses a wide range of topics and periods--from Hippocratic medical theory and Plato's epistemology and moral philosophy, to Aristotle's physics and metaphysics, academic scepticism, and the cosmology, moral psychology, and ethical theory of the ancient Stoics. Almost half...
The modern world is passing through a time of critical change on many levels: cultural, political, ecological and spiritual. We are witnessing the decline and dissolution of the old order, the tumult and uncertainty of a new birth. Against this background, there is an urgent need for a coherent framework of meaning to lead us beyond the growing fragmentation of culture, belief and personal identity. Keiron Le Grice argues that the developing insights of a new cosmology could provide this framewo...

Higgs: The Invention and Discovery of the 'God Particle'
by Environmental Officer Lubricants Marketing Jim Baggott
The dreams of Lucrecia de Leon have lain virtually undisturbed in the archives of the Spanish Inquisition for more than 400 years. In 1587, when Lucrecia was 19 years old, her dreams were recorded and published by a disaffected group of clerics. Over the next three years they transcribed over 400 of Lucrecia's dreams, believing them to be messages from God. As some of her prophecies came true, such as the defeat of the Armada and the death of Philip II, Lucrecia fell foul of the authorities and...

Simplicius: On Aristotle on the Heavens 2.1-9 (Ancient Commentators on Aristotle)
Aristotle believed that the outermost stars are carried round us on a transparent sphere. There are directions in the universe and a preferred direction of rotation. The sun moon and planets are carried on different revolving spheres. The spheres and celestial bodies are composed of an everlasting fifth element, which has none of the ordinary contrary properties like heat and cold which could destroy it, but only the facility for uniform rotation. But this creates problems as to how the heavenly...
