Ananthropic Purposivism

Purpose in the Universe with Tim Mulgan – Episode 16

July 1, 2018 Posted by Chris Fisher

From the back cover of professor Tim Mulgan’s book:

Two familiar worldviews dominate Western philosophy: materialist atheism and the benevolent to God of the Abrahamic faiths. Tim Mulgan explores a third way. Ananthropocentric Purposivism claims that there is a cosmic purpose, but human beings are irrelevant to it. Purpose in the Universe develops a philosophical case for Ananthropocentric Purposivism that is at least as strong as the case for either theism or atheism.
