Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: The Sense of the Universe deals with existential and phenomenological reflection upon modern cosmology with the aim to reveal hidden theological commitments in cosmology related to the mystery of human existence. The book proposes a new approach to the dialogue between science and theology based in a thorough philosophical analysis of acting forms of subjectivity involved in the study of the world and in religious experience. The uniqueness of this book is that it uses recent advances in phenomenological philosophy and philosophical theology in order to accentuate the existential meaning of cosmology as the discourse that ultimately explicates the human condition. The objective of the book is not to make a comparative analysis of the cosmological scientific narrative and that of the Bible, or the Fathers of the Church (in what concerns the structure of the universe), but to reveal the presence of a hidden theological dimension in cosmology originating in the God-given ability of humanity to discern and disclose the sense of creation.; Alexei V. Nesteruk is senior research lecturer in mathematics at the University of Portsmouth and a visiting professor in theology and science at St. Andrew's Biblical and Theological Institute in Moscow. He is a deacon of the Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox Churches in Western Europe of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.; Google Preview content
