Cosmology and Non-Causal Conceptions of the DivineIndex of Names 330 $aWritten by philosophers, cosmologists, and physicists, this collection of essays deals with causality, which is a core issue for both science and philosophy. Readers will learn about different types of causality in complex systems and about new perspectives on this issue based on physical and cosmological considerations. In addition, the book includes essays pertaining to the problem of causality in ancient Greek philosophy, and to the problem of God's relation to the causal structures of nature viewed in the light of contemporary physics and cosmology. 606 $aCausality (Physics) 606 $aCosmology 615 0$aCausality (Physics) 615 0$aCosmology. 676 $a530.01 702 $aEllis$b George F.
